i18n - Error on redirects

So i need to find a configuration that always redirect the user to {locale}/path.
Currently it redirects to /path which results in a 404 since i18n module requires the locale.
Under normal circumstances this wouldnt be needed - i18n is configured to always redirect to a locale, however i dont have very clear why it redirects the user to /path when the user is already log in.
It is likely a problem between the interaction of different modules since i have supabase auth module and i18n installed.

Figured out i need some additional middleware that guarantees the user will always default to /locale/path every time it tries to visit /path.

What is this configuration at i18n? are other people experiencing similar problems?

----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can offer some insights into your i18n redirection issue with Nuxt. It seems that you're experiencing a conflict between the i18n module and possibly the Supabase auth module.

The i18n module in Nuxt should typically handle locale-based redirects automatically. However, your situation suggests that there might be an interaction with the authentication flow that's causing unexpected behavior.

To address your specific need for always redirecting to , you can consider the following approaches:

Check your i18n configuration:
Make sure your
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
file includes the correct i18n settings. Based on the information in Stack Overflow Post > Nuxt 3 i18n browser detection not working Part 6, you should have something like this in your
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
```
nuxt.config.ts
```
:

Ensure that your is set correctly and that is configured properly.

Implement a custom middleware:As you've figured out, you might need additional middleware to guarantee the locale prefix. You can create a global middleware to handle this. Here's an example based on the middleware information from [Docs > Guide > Directory-structure > middleware Part 1](<https://nuxt.com/docs/guide/directory-structure/middleware>):Create a file named `locale-redirect.global.ts` in your `middleware/` directory:

This middleware will check if the current route starts with the default locale. If not, it will redirect to the same path but with the locale prefix.

Supabase auth interaction:The issue you're experiencing with redirects when the user is already logged in might be related to the Supabase auth module. According to [Stack Overflow Post > Nuxt.js localhost redirects to /login automatically, resulting in 404 error Part 2](<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78746436>), the Supabase module has a default behavior of redirecting to a login page. You might want to check your Supabase configuration and disable automatic redirects if they're interfering with your i18n setup.In your `nuxt.config.ts`, you could try adding:

This should prevent Supabase from automatically redirecting and potentially conflicting with your i18n routes.

It's worth noting that other people have indeed experienced similar issues with i18n and authentication modules in Nuxt. The interaction between these modules can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior, especially when it comes to redirects.

If these solutions don't fully resolve your issue, you might want to consider posting a detailed question on the Nuxt GitHub issues or the official Nuxt Discord channel, as this seems to be a complex interaction between multiple modules that might require more specific debugging.
