How do you force EPiServer to give up its language URL prefix?

I have a v6 R1 installation that is really, really reluctant to give up the "/en/" in the URLs. It was set in error, during development, and now the client wants them out of the URLs. The setting has been made in episerver.config -- I've confirmed that uiShowGlobalizationUserInterface is false.

However, URLs keep getting rendered with the "/en/" in them. I've rebuilt the Web addresses from Admin Mode too -- doesn't matter. It just won't give up this language prefix.

Have you tried setting the language in episerverframework.config?

add name="site.com" language="en"

If you browse to site.com it shouldn't display the en postfix.

I added this, but I still have the same problem. It only happens on some pages. I've run the "Rebuild Web Addresses" job, but it didn't help.

So it shows /en/ on links to those pages? Does every page on that list contain /en/ or just a few?

Jeff helped me fix it -- I still had Swedish enabled. If you have more than one language enabled, EPiServer tries to put that prefix in there. Once I disabled Swedish, it works fine.

This still doesn't explain some of the inconsistency of it -- it was only on some pages, and not others. But, it's fixed nonetheless.

Yeah I have no idea why changing the EPiServerFramework.config didn't fix the issue completely. None-the-less, nice to hear you fixed it :)
