Localization duplicate page problem when locale set in routes

I may be over-complicating this, but you could do what you're talking about with the Regular Expression feature in routes.

You would essentially be treating the locale segment like any other URL segment, bypassing the special "locale" option. You'll want to follow the RegEx route with a catch-all site.com/uri route definition.

Again... not tested, but something like this:

PHP Code:

//grab the locales and implode into regex string
$config = new \Config\App();
$locs = implode("|", $config->supportedLocales);

$routes->add('('.$locs.')/uri', 'Controller::home');
$routes->add('uri', 'Controller::home'); 


If you go that route (pun intended), you might need to catch the segment to explicitly set the language using lang()

Don't know if this is the BEST solution, but it might be a path forward.
