EPiServer 7.1 fails to honor "en" language with Patch 2
We have introduced something called StrictLanguageRouting in CMS. It works like:
Another change is that when a language mapping is defined in config, like if config contains a mapping like:
<add name="localhost" language="en" />
then a url like http://localhost/en/News/ will give a 404 since when there is a host mapping that defines a language then the language should not be present in url.
In short it works like if there is a language mapping in config then the url must not contain the language segment and the other way around that is if there is not a language mapping in config then the language url segment must be present.
There is a configuration setting "strictLanguageRouting" on configruation element siteSettings that can be set to false to get old more tolerant behaviour.

Thanks Johan. That seemed to do the trick. I failed to see this documented anywhere, did i miss this?

This topic was created over six months ago and has been resolved. If you have a similar question, please create a new topic and refer to this one.
No matter what page i am on, the default language is "en" and looking at the page language, en is the page language. When i navigate to the page like this http://joshua.local/test it works! if i go to http://joshua.local/en it fails and i get a 404.
Now the kicker. If i go to episerverframework and look in sitehosts. i have this <add name="*" language="en" /> and <add name="joshua.local" language="en"/>. So all in all, i cannot navigate to any page with the en branch. so joshua.local/en/about does not work but joshua.local/about does. What am I missing.
