Thanks for the suggestion but German is the default language and English and Arabic are additional languages.
http://localhost:8080/ shows the home page in German,
http://localhost:8080/en.html shows the first sub-page (instead of the home page) in English!


I switched back to using ['_DEFAULT'] but nothing changed.


The reason I thought of changing this in the first place is because the RealURL manual says it is deprecated, or did I misunderstand that?  Is that just for multi-domain sites?
