Hello,
That’s great to use Hugo, I really loved it and handled many cases with the docs. Thanks.
Now, I’m in a problematic situation that I can’t find a solution. Here is the details:
My Hugo website supports two languages in the different sub roots;
mysite.ext/en
mysite.ext/de
When someone visits my website mysite.ext, it redirects to the mysite.ext/en/ because my `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir` is `true`. In this case, 404.html problems happen for the GitLab pages service and maybe for the other services too.
I’m using GitLab pages as explained in the Hugo docs. When I go to a page that doesn’t exist on my website, let’s say mysite.ext/en/this-page-doesn-t-exist/, GitLab shows its own 404 pages, not mine… Because the 404.html files are located in the sub folders for each language (/en/404.html and /de/404.html, not in the root folder of whole website (/404.html), I guess the problem is that… Because if I make the `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir`; `false`, it shows 404 pages correctly, here is why; because in this case, Hugo locates the 404.html file in the root folder when I publish the website.
How can I handle this kind of problem?
I need your help.
