Is it possible to name your app folder something like app/business-customer but in the url of the browser make it available under www.domain.de/geschaeftskunden?

only way what comes into my mind is using middleware and redirecting... but will the url stay the original way then?

You can use () to group routes in your project.

app/(business-customer)/geschaeftskunden

You want "business-customer" directory for organization?

I dont know if that makes even sense what I want to do... ðŸ™‚ Maybe I should just use the german naming for the subfolder under app?! What do you think?

If you can read German then I'd just do that

I don't think that changes route naming

Either use German names in the dirs or try rewrites but the rewrites might be hard to maintain if you have a lot of pages

You might use a dynamic route, then use a middleware to check if the route value is in either routes_EN.json or routes_DE.json, and take it further from there.
