[FIXED] Why prestashop is adding a lang particel at the end of a multistore shop url?

Issue

I have a prestashop 1.6 installation, in multistore mode. I have some stores already running ok, but now I created a 'german' store with /de url, and have the following issue:

• the shop url is something like www.example.com/de, visible and saved in admin

• when I navigate to www.example.com/de, automatically I'm redirected to www.example.com/de/it/

I really cannot understand the reason why... All the other shops (fr, es) do work properly. This one does not. No way to keep it simply /de. I already setted a default language for it, I just copied all the settings from the other shops, seems all the same. I cannot spot the error. I also regenerated the htaccess. No way. Could you please suggest me why it is behaving that way?

Ah, funny thing: with firefox will go to www.example.com/de/it/ as described above, while with chrome will go to www.example.com/de/de/!!! No one simply stay www.example.com/de/.

Thank you, regards

Solution

Have a check the settings of the german store, probably you have multiple languages enabled / active in Localization > Languages and Prestashop , once you reach the shop homepage, performs a 301-redirect to the default language URL (default behaviour with multiple languages and URL rewriting).

About the funny thing : check the Localization > Localization setting "Set language from browser", this can lead to different language redirects depending of the browser language.
