defaultLanguage not working

[hananina]

    
{
      resolve: `gatsby-plugin-intl`,
      options: {
        // language JSON resource path
        path: `${__dirname}/src/intl`,
        // supported language
        languages: [`en`, `ja`],
        // language file path
        defaultLanguage: `en`,
        // option to redirect to `/ko` when connecting `/`
        redirect: true,
      },

At first, Thank you for this convenient package! it's really helpful🙏
I have some problems setting the default language for my project.

I have set defaultLanguage: as en but when I visit the root address of my website, it still showing the Japanese version of it instead of showing the English version. is there any way to fix this problem?

Try removing redirect: true inside the options

What if I want to keep the redirect?
According to the example in the docs, it does redirect.
I'm having the same problem, no matter what I do, it redirects to English and I can seem to change it.
I tried your suggestion with removing the redirect, but the outcome is not something I want.

I got the same problem with 'en' and 'es' languages and defaultLanguage : 'es'. If redirect is true, it will start in /en, always, instead of /es as expected. Setting it to false, will show me the 'es' page, but it's not consistent with the language switcher (that goes to /es). Any workaround for this to work as in the docs? Thanks!

I can confirm this issue is still happening.

Set redirect: true so that it will auto redirect to the default language.
Set a defaultLanguage other than 'en'

It still auto redirects to /en when going to /, even though the defaultLanguage is set up differently.

Actually, I have found it! It's taking the browser's language as default over the default language. This is even better!

Might be good to update the docs to be a bit more clear on this one.
