Having issues building my translations after updating it to 1.0.0 about mkdocs-static-i18n

You could override the 404.html template with a version that contains a JavaScript redirection script based on the URL for old links.

That's a good idea, I'll try it

Hello @MetalKnight56,
looking at https://readthedocs.org/projects/epicfight-docs/ it seems that ReadTheDocs itself sets /en/latest/ as the root / page of the project. I don't understand why it adds /en/ before the /latest/.

The i18n 1.0 plugin creates the default language at the / root directory and then creates subsequent languages at /lang_code/. Before in 0.53 it would also duplicate the default language in it's own /lang_code/ path.

It's hard to tell what's the issue here as the behaviour didn't change so much. You could try setting the site_url in your mkdocs.yml https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#site_url to https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/
Other than that investigate ReadTheDocs to find how it sets the / directory.

The thing that is weird is the fact that before when i used "0.56" version of i18n it all worked just fine, because it would add the lang code even after selecting any page including the index.en
so for example when you click on a language when on index.en it would look something like this the url
https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pt/
but now it just does this - https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/pt/

If you're saying that https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pt/ is correct, then try setting the site_url to https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/, but to me it's weird that there is both en and pt.

Ok i found the solution to it, but it just gave me a huge headache. So ReadTheDocs allows me to change how they build the versioning scheme. If anyone ever has the same issue as me, here's the reference - https://docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/versioning-schemes.html#

Just gotta change a setting on the admin panel>adavanced options and change the versioning scheme to Single version

(Mind that it took me like 10 minutes or so for the changes to apply + it broke all links i had on my other pages...)

Here's the new page - https://epicfight-docs.readthedocs.io/

Did you try using site_url or not? I believe it would allow you to keep the old links working.

didn't actually try that, but i mean, just converted the links its fine, i agree with you that it did look weird so i kinda stopped stalling and got to fix that as well
