    Hi. I suspect that http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-moved-permanently is more or less what you want.

    Hi Rodion, this seems to be a good solution. Have you try it before? What Type do you use in your documentType when using it  "TextString" ?

    Am not sure this is working. What I need to do is a permanent Redirection. 

    That is when i type something like this in my browser

    http://www.website.com it redirects me to http://www.website.com/en or http://www.website.com/en/

    In one of my older projects I made a usercontrol and added it to the default website. This usercontrol checked the language settings of the browser or using one of the free IP databases, with these details it made a redirect using C# code to the localised website.

    I am unsure whether there exists a better way of doing it, but it worked for me. I would not make a permanent redirect though.

            private string GetUrl()
        {
            var ip = Request.UserHostAddress;
            var remoteCountry = LookupService.getCountry(ip);
            var remoteCountryCode = (remoteCountry ?? new Country("--", "--")).getCode();

            var country = CountryRepository.GetByCode(remoteCountryCode);
            if (country == null)
            {
                return DefaultWebsiteUrl();
            }

            var websiteCultureCode = ContractService.GetValidContract(country.WebsiteCulture);
            var node = _websiteCultureService.GetWebsite(websiteCultureCode);

            var url = library.NiceUrl(node.Id);

            Trace.Write("Redirecting - IP: " + ip + " is from " + remoteCountryCode + ", redirecting to: " + url);

            return url;
        }

    Perhaps this blogpost can help: http://cultiv.nl/blog/2010/12/19/tip-of-the-week-the-ultimate-site-structure-setup/. The comments are also useful.

    Hey Jeroen Thanks for the the blogpost. Got it working by using this in my UrlRewriting.config

    <add name="En"
      virtualUrl= "^~/$"
     rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
     destinationUrl="~/en/"
     ignoreCase="true"
     redirect="Application"
     redirectMode="Permanent" />
