Comment:
Thanks for that test, it really clarified it.
In the HTML in the documentation you mentioned, it mentions the
`redirect_to` context variable, but doesn't really explain what to set it
to. In your case, it is empty, so the `set_language` view has started
looking at the `HTTP_REFERRER` as shown in your tests.
You need to set `redirect_to` to the current page URL, without the
language prefix. For example, you could add this context processor to your
settings:
{{{#!python
from django.urls import translate_url
def redirect_path_context_processor(request):
return {'language_select_redirect_to': translate_url(request.path,
settings.LANGUAGE_CODE)}
}}}
The `set_language` view will then translate the URL again to the user's
selected language.
Also, if you *do* use `prefix_default_language=True`, then the URL for the
set_language view should also be prefixed. I don't think this is
documented anywhere.
