Laravel URL with optional parameter at the beginning

Question

I'm trying to get an URL with route binding as one statement in routes/web.php matching the following pattern:

/abc/my-slug
/de/abc/my-slug
/es/abc/my-slug
etc.

Notably, the first parameter is optional should default to "en". Is it possible to have route binding to load a model from two parameters with one statement instead of two in the routes file?

Something like this maybe (untested) ?

 Route::name('page')
      ->get('/{lang?}/{slug}', [Controller::class, 'index'])
      ->setDefaults(['lang' => 'en']);

Or as an alternative read this on how to set defaults in a middleware

I've tried this, it's leading either to "missing parameter" as the default doesn't seem to get set or to Required parameter $url_segment follows optional parameter $language if I set the optional parameter as default in the controller method.

And if you also set the slug as optional ?

The it would match other routes too. I've opted to have multiple route as I couldn't figure it without.
