Language Consideration with Relative Redirect
Preserve Language-Code (Locale)
The Language Consideration feature is best suited for store owners who have Shopify markets configured for multiple countries/regions and want to redirect visitors from the initial store (specific page) URL to the exact same page URL on their native store with the required Language code.
There are two options in the feature
Default
Locale from Redirect URL
Let's understand both options with relative redirect:
1. Default
Preserve language code with relative redirect have certain cases which is dependent on the language code availability in the landing URL and "Redirect To Store URL (Destination URL)" in the app.
1.1 If language code available in the landing URL and Redirect To Store URL
shop-one.com/en
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr
shop-one.com/en/product
shop-two.com/fr/product

1.2 If language code available only in the landing URL
shop-one.com/en

hop-one.com
shop-two.com/fr
shop-two.com/fr

2. Locale from Redirect URL
In the Locale from Redirect URL functionality, the language code will be considered as per the availability in the "Redirect To Store URL" only:
2.1 If language code available in the landing URL and Redirect To Store URL

2.2 If language code available only in the landing URL
