Need to refresh 2 times to change language

[Macha-orange]

Hello,

I have a website with nodejs+express+ejs and I have root langage as a parameter inside url like this :

www.mywebsite.com/en/ www.mywebsite.com/fr/

Here my code :

const i18n = require('i18n')

i18n.configure({
    locales: ['en', 'fr'],
    directory: ('./locales')
})

app.use(i18n.init)

app.use((req, res, next) => {
    i18n.setLocale(req, localeTag),
        next();
});

With express here the parameter :

app.get('/:lang/', function (req, res) {
    localeTag = req.params.lang;
// code here

First I thought that it was no working but what I need to do to change language is quite annoying :

i'm here : www.mywebsite.com/en/ so the site is in english.

I change my url to www.mywebsite.com/fr/ but the site is again in english.

I'm at www.mywebsite.com/fr/ still in english, then when I do 1 refresh, everything is translated.

Same thing if I go the other way. Always need to do a refresh ?

As written in #463 the example should guide you https://github.com/mashpie/i18n-express-hbs-prefix

I’ll close this in favor of your other issue.
