The demo app with next 13 not redirect automatically for locale.

[DonikaV]

Description

Hey i am trying to follow this demo app
https://github.com/amannn/next-intl/tree/main/packages/example-next-13
The point is that in my app and in demo page https://csb-k2ien9-7ytkomg4x-amann.vercel.app/en
If you change Language in Chrome settings for example to German, it will open /en anyway. Same for other Languages.

so this middleware doesn't work?

import { createIntlMiddleware } from 'next-intl/server';

// This middleware intercepts requests to `/` and will redirect
// to the best matching locale instead (e.g. `/en`). A cookie
// is set in the background, so if the user switches to a new
// language, this will take precedence from now on.
export default createIntlMiddleware({
  locales: ['en', 'es'],
  defaultLocale: 'en',
});

Hey @DonikaV and thank you for the bug report!

Do you know the accept-language header that Chrome sends in your case? I just tried setting the location to "Berlin" which assigns de-DE to the accept-language header.

There's currently a small bug in the middleware in the stable release, where "de-DE" is not resolved to "de", but instead a fallback to "en" is used.

If you use the "de" locale though, the middleware works:

curl 'https://csb-k2ien9-7ytkomg4x-amann.vercel.app' -H 'accept-language: de;q=0.8'
Redirecting to /de (307)

In [email protected] this is already fixed, so you should be able to avoid this bug by using that version. I'll look into backporting some middleware improvements from #149 to stable though, so this fix is also available there.

Thanks again!
