URL Rewrite with switcher languages

[sanaamini]

Hello,

I added a French story to my magento 2 and my default is the English story.

When I switch between languages, I have this URL:

url_of_mymagento2/?__store=default

url_of_mymagento2?__store=french

I want something like

url_of_mymagento2/fr

Any help please?

Thanks in advance..

Hi @sanaamini,

Maybe the easiest way is to the the store codes to the URL?

Yes, store codes are the best solution here. They are set while creating the store views and here is the article on how you can add store codes to the URLs:

@johnpetersdca2  Is it recommend use store code to Multi-Website?

Yes. it is better to use them in case you want to have more SEO friendly URLs. 

Example from the original question:

NOT url_of_mymagento2?__store=french

BUT url_of_mymagento2/fr
