Hiding prefix for i18n_patterns not working

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

Hi Everyone, I am now trying to implement the internationalisation into my website and I have the i18n_patterns set like this, with the prefix_default_language=False:

urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(
    path('', include("landing.urls")),
    path('event/', include("event.urls")),
    prefix_default_language=False
)

My language setting in settings.py

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'zh-Hant'

LANGUAGES = (
    ('en', _('English')),
    ('zh-Hant', _('TraditionalChinese')),
)

And i use this in the view to activate the language:

def translate(request, lang):
    print("lang", lang)
    if lang=="zh":
        newlang="zh-Hant"
    else:
        newlang="en"
    activate(newlang)
    
    return redirect("index")

It works some how, which when I enter mydomain.com/ is working (showing the default language), and mydomain.com/en is showing the another language. However, whenever I click any link inside the page, or using the redirect function through the views.py, it will show the url like mydomain com/zh-Hant/event or mydomain com/en/event for the next page. This means the prefix=False is now only working when I type the url.

As i have set prefix_default_language=False, isn’t my default language zh-Hant should hide the prefix url in all time and the url should be like mydomain com/event? How can i hide this when using inpage redirect or clicking a link inside the page? I have found many articles about it but I still can’t find an answer. Can anyone help me with this?

Hi, you should to use reverse function to get the links. According to documentation it should work nice with prefix_default_language=False.
