Keep language prefix even using one language + SEO module

[jorgebiblio]

Hello

 

In a new site under development, I plan to keep only one language but more in the future. If I only use one, the language prefix (/es/ /en/...) disappear. Is there any way to keep it in 1.5.6?

 

And related...

 

If I add new languages, Google won't find many old contents.

 

I've found this module but it does not work in 1.5 http://www.prestatoolbox.com/seo/137-url-rewriting-.HTML

 

Do you know any good modules to build really seo friendy URLs.

 

Thank you.

 

P.S. I've read a lot of posts where they explain how to modify some core files but for older versions of Prestashop.

Preferences  > SEO & URLs

 

Scroll down to,

 

Schema of URLs

 

Add to the front of each en/

 

For exsample,

 

Route to products {category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html

 

You should change that to en/{category:/}{id}-{rewrite}{-:ean13}.html

 

Don't forget to save when finished.

Thank you for you answer, Bill.

 

I tried what you kindly describe at the very beginning as my first option (sorry, I did not mention it before) and products, categories and so on work fine but when I click on some other links (sitemap, manufacturers, etc.) they appear without the prefix. I even thought of combining with a htaccess file but there are so many links.

 

Best regards.

For SEO your most important pages would be covered.

 

I'm sure someone will post with a htaccess solution. 

 

Worst case, create a directory called "en" and install your PS in that.

Thanks, Bill, you are totally right.

I even thought about installing in /en but I'm afraid I have problems with the installation when "downgrading"  to /

 

Thank you sincerely for your answers and support.

I posted another question and has no comments, so should I suppose in that case it has no solution?
