oldsite.se/ru/ - issue, Russian text not wanted

[[email protected]]

Hi,

We want to redirect a old site url, domain.se/ru/ to a corresponding url on the new site. However doing so renders the new url shown in the Russian language which is not what we want.

We have this in our .htaccess:
Redirectmatch 301 /Krisberedskap/ru/ http://www.domain.se/new_url
And that giives us the correct redirect page but wrong language.

We have also tried this:
Redirectmatch 301 /Krisberedskap/ru/ http://www.domain.se/index.php?option=c ... &view=item
Specifying the lang=sv but that doesnt work either. It the throws a redirect issue on page warning.

How can we solve this?

Hi,

The translated version should be http://www.domain.se/ru/new_url . You should have the language code in your URL .

Hi, Yes but /ru on the old site has nothing to do with the russian language. The site should not be in russina at all. We have tested to redirect to http://www.domain.se/en/new_url for englisg text but it stills shows the page in russian.

Can you send me your website address?

I can swear it didnt work just a few minutes ago but now it does work!

It redirects the old site /ru url to the new site with correct language.
