URL routing for localized frontend and backend

Then continues rules for backend - without locale. It makes no sense to have locale in backend URL.

Maybe you will have admin users from other nations ?

Not in this case

After using {locale} it is normal (for me) to face with this problem (or maybe I'm used to it). You should also use {locale} for the backend part. That's the only solution for me.

Yes @demyr this issue was faced me the same and I used routes priority but were some also minor issues you know that at @includebeer

Code:

https://includebeer.com/en/blog/creating-a-multilingual-website-with-codeigniter-4-part-1

has also tutorial how to do this but still faced this issue at where I solved by using CI URL hepler

PHP Code:

if (url_is('admin*')) {
    // ...
}
