Multilang uses 302 (and not 301) redirections. Bad for SEO

  • I like very much WP Multilang, but I recently performed a SEO Audit, and it seems that WP Multilang uses 302, temporary, redirections (and not 301, permanent) that are bad for SEO as google still indexed the redirected pages and they do not transfer any “juice” to the destination.

    As you all know, if on WP MULTILANG SETTINGS you check “Use prefix for language by default”, and your default language is xx, all pages on / are redirected to /xx:
    /(.*) -> /xx/($1)
    Unfortunately those are 302 and not 301.

    The opposite is also true. If on WP MULTILANG SETTINGS you uncheck “Use prefix for language by default”, and your default language is yy, all pages on /yy/ are redirected to /
    /yy/(.*) -> /($1)
    Unfortunately those are also 302 and not 301.

    Is there any way to change those 302 redirections to 301?
