It makes route localization a second-class citizen in the framework at best, or a totally unsupported hack-your-own-solution thing at worst.

It seems like a path prefix like "/en/books" or "/es/books" could be supported with a base url config.

Localized path segments like "/books" or "/libros" could be supported with a path segment mapping configuration.

It should work fine in theory. I guess those configs don't exist yet. Or is there something else that route localization requires?

if it helps, you could use middleware in next.js to handle routing to separate folders easier.

Middleware won't work if you use "next export" to get a truly static site though, which is by far my preferred mode of operation whenever possible.

This is what I meant when I said "second-class citizen at best".

ah I see. Maybe try the route rewriting in next.conf.js? I think thats what the file is. That might work for static sites.
