# What I Wanted to Implement

- languages
- ja (default)
- en

For the default language, I wanted to remove /ja from the beginning of the URL, so I used middleware to perform a rewrite.

I tried to incorporate this into the Intercepting Routes example, aiming for a URL structure like /photos/1 for the Japanese page and /en/photos/1 for the English page. However, while it works correctly for the English page, the Japanese page, where the rewrite is performed, does not function properly.

After opening and closing a photo in a modal once, the modal no longer opens at all.

Without the rewrite process, having URLs like /ja/photos/1 and /en/photos/1 poses no issue, so it seems there is some conflict between the middleware's rewrite and some other process.

Even introducing next-i18n-router resulted in the same outcome, as it essentially does the same thing.

Do you think this is a specification issue, or do you believe it's a bug?
