Static site and the prefix strategy? How do you redirect?

[notflip]

I'm running a node SSR server at this moment, only because I'm using the prefix strategy, with the node preset site.com/ gets redirected to site.com/en, so this all works fine.

However I can't seem to get this to work with a static site (which is what I prefer), so I'm wondering has anyone managed to get a static site working with the redirect working? (I'm using nginx)

This discussion seems to be a duplicate of #1764. May I please ask you to use one discussion thread for an issue. Additionally, you could also join the official Nuxt discord (https://discord.com/invite/ps2h6QT) and ask questions in the #i18n channel.

Edit: I understand now that #1764 is regarding index.html in your build, while this is about redirecting using nginx - while the two seem closely related - so could I ask you to provide more description in just one discussion?
