IMPORTANT

For improved SEO, it's highly recommended to set detectBrowserLanguage.onlyOnRoot to true if you are using strategy other than no_prefix with detectBrowserLanguage enabled. This will ensure that crawlers won't get redirected when crawling pages other than the root page, which would then be considered duplicate content.

This will likely become a default behavior in the future.
