Multisite multilingue redirection after migration

Hm. That’s tricky. I think you may be able to do this via .htaccess.

RewriteRule ^/category/(.+)\?lang=fr$ /fr/$1/ [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/category/(.+)\?lang=es$ /es/$1/ [L,R]
RewriteRule ^/category/(.*)$ /en/$1/ [L,R]

As long as you keep the /en/ one at the end, that should sort through the other languages, and kick the last one to English.

Thanks Mika,

I could not make it work (maybe I did not put it at the right place in the htaccess file) but I did not insist too much as, testing it, I discovered that too much of my posts’ names have changed, so I will definitively need a redirection plugin.

Thanks again,

I have now moved to the multisite installation (see https://www.qualilogy.com, see https://www.qualilogy.com/fr/, ../en/, ../es/) but I cannot get any redirection working.

I have been doing the following tests, unsuccessfully:

In .htaccess:
Redirect 301 https://qualilogy.com/application-quality/the-3-costs/?lang=es https://qualilogy.com/es/los-3-costes

Redirect 301 /application-quality/the-3-costs/?lang=es https://qualilogy.com/es/los-3-costes

Redirect 301 Redirect 301 /?lang=es https://qualilogy.com/es/

Creating an /application-quality/ folder with its own htaccess. with
Redirect 301 /the-3-costs/?lang=es https://qualilogy.com/es/los-3-costes

All these instructions on first line of the htaccess file.
Nothing works.

I will continue investigating. Maybe the rewrite instructions ?
Do not hesitate to ask for any precision.

Allright,

The problem comes from the /?lang parameter.
I did try
Redirect 301 /application-quality/the-3-costs/ https://qualilogy.com/en/the-3-costs/
and it comes to:
https://qualilogy.com/en/the-3-costs/?lang=es

So I can redirect any page (fr, en, es) to the english one (en) but not to the one specific to the language.

What should I do so that the parameter is taken in account?
Redirectmatch?

Do not hesitate to ask for any precision,
