For example, I want to be able to get my login page as by /login and by /en/login route.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "LoginLang",
url: "{lang}/Login",
defaults: new { lang = "en", controller = "Account", action = "Login" }
);
But if /en/login gets accepted, route /login is not. It is treatable by an additional route, but still, do you have explanation why /login gets rejected?
Because your route pattern says the lang (parameter) string should be before the string "Login" in the url.
If you want to support both en/login and login, you should create one more route entry and register it in the route table.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultLoginLang",
url: "Login",
defaults: new { lang = "en", controller = "Account", action = "Login" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "LoginLang",
url: "{lang}/Login",
defaults: new { lang = "en", controller = "Account", action = "Login" }
);
// Your default route registration goes here
Or you can use attribute routing
[Route("Login")]
[Route("{lang}/Login")]
public ActionResult Login(string lang="en")
{
//to do : return something
}
