See also Browser language detection for a guide.

Set to false to disable.

Supported properties:

alwaysRedirect

• type: boolean
• default: false

Set to always redirect to the value stored in the cookie, not just on first visit.

• default: root

Supported options:

• all - detect browser locale on all paths.
• root (recommended for improved SEO) - only detect the browser locale on the root path (/) of the site. Only effective when using strategy other than 'no_prefix'.
• no prefix - a more permissive variant of root that will detect the browser locale on the root path (/) and also on paths that have no locale prefix (like /foo). Only effective when using strategy other than 'no_prefix'.

• default: true

If enabled, a cookie is set once the user has been redirected to browser's preferred locale, to prevent subsequent redirects. Set to false to redirect every time.

Cookie name.
