Describe the bug

I am currently working on a website using Nuxt i18n and need assistance with managing the URL prefix format. Specifically, I need to support different locales within the same language, such as en-US and en-CA, but for SEO purposes, I want the URL to display only the language code as a prefix.

locales: [
  { code: 'en-US', name: 'English (US)', file: 'assets/translations/en.json' },
  { code: 'en-CA', name: 'English (Canada)', file: 'assets/translations/en.json' }
],

This setup works, but it results in URLs like www.domain.com/en-US and www.domain.com/en-CA. Instead, I need the URLs to always be in the format www.domain.com/en regardless of the specific locale.

Is there a way to achieve this configuration with Nuxt i18n? Any guidance or solutions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help.

More info

### Why do I need to provide a reproduction? Reproductions make it possible for us to triage and fix issues quickly with a relatively small team. It helps us discover the source of the problem, and also can reveal assumptions you or we might be making. ### What will happen? If you've provided a reproduction, we'll remove the label and try to reproduce the issue. If we can, we'll mark it as a bug and prioritise it based on its severity and how many people we think it might affect. If `needs reproduction` labeled issues don't receive any substantial activity (e.g., new comments featuring a reproduction link), we'll close them. That's not because we don't care! At any point, feel free to comment with a reproduction and we'll reopen it. ### How can I create a reproduction? We have a couple of templates for starting with a minimal reproduction: 👉 [Reproduction starter (v8 and higher)](https://stackblitz.com/fork/github/BobbieGoede/nuxt-i18n-starter/tree/v8) 👉 [Reproduction starter (edge)](https://stackblitz.com/fork/github/BobbieGoede/nuxt-i18n-starter/tree/edge) A public GitHub repository is also perfect. 👌 Please ensure that the reproduction is as **minimal** as possible. See more details [in our guide](https://nuxt.com/docs/community/reporting-bugs/#create-a-minimal-reproduction).
