optional redirect

[i8ramin]

Added an optional param redirect that will do the following:

• disable the default redirect from /path to /en/path
• disable generating of /en/* pages

Motivation here is that for the default language (ie, en), we want the site to behave as normal. Without any language specific paths. But for all other supported/available languages, we want to generate those pages.

One caveat here is that the redirect logic is now disabled and it is up to the author to determine when to redirect a user to the appropriate language based on their browser settings. We typically handle this at the Edge (ie, Fastly VCL) using geo-targeting and redirects.

Wasn't getting much response, so decided to fork the project and continue work on it to fit our needs

Is there any updates on this topic ?

hi @5tormTrooper, unfortunately I no longer have access to the fork/repo .. but the this closed PR has some of the logic needed to make this work .. look at this file specifically:

Thanks for getting back. I'll check it out and post a new fork for anyone else who comes across this.
