Created centralized helpers:
- src/lib/i18n/pageMetadata.ts: All page metadata (titles, descriptions, alt text)
- src/lib/i18n/productText.ts: Product-specific translated text (shortDescription, benefits)
- src/lib/i18n/metadata.ts: Helper functions for locale handling
Updated all pages to use centralized metadata:
- Homepage: Uses getPageMetadata for title, description, productionAlt
- Products page: Uses getPageMetadata
- Product detail: Uses getPageMetadata + getTranslatedShortDescription/getTranslatedBenefits
- About page: Uses getPageMetadata
ProductDetail component now uses:
- getTranslatedShortDescription() instead of locale comparison
- getTranslatedBenefits() instead of locale comparison
All user-facing text now goes through translation files or centralized helpers.
Adding a new language now requires only:
1. Add to SUPPORTED_LOCALES in locales.ts
2. Add LOCALE_CONFIG entry
3. Add entries to pageMetadata.ts and productText.ts
4. Add translation keys to message files
- Added getPathWithoutLocale() and buildLocalePath() helpers to locales.ts
- Updated Header to use centralized helpers instead of hardcoded regex
- Updated middleware to use SUPPORTED_LOCALES in matcher config
- Updated LocaleProvider to use isValidLocale() instead of hardcoded array
To add a new language now, only update:
1. SUPPORTED_LOCALES in locales.ts
2. LOCALE_CONFIG entry with label, flag, saleorLocale
3. Add translation keys to all message files
All routing now uses centralized constants - no more hardcoded locale lists.
- Default locale was "SR" instead of "sr"
- Comparisons used "EN" instead of "en" for shortDescription and benefits
- These hardcoded English strings were being skipped due to wrong comparison
- homepage page.tsx was passing productLocale (SR/EN) instead of locale (sr/en) to ProductCard
- ProductShowcase default locale was "SR" instead of "sr"
- ProductBenefits default locale was "SR" instead of "sr"
These caused URLs like /en/SR/products/... when clicking products
Created src/lib/i18n/locales.ts as single source of truth for:
- SUPPORTED_LOCALES array
- LOCALE_COOKIE name
- DEFAULT_LOCALE
- LOCALE_CONFIG (labels, flags, Saleor locale mapping)
- Helper functions (isValidLocale, getSaleorLocale, getLocaleFromPath)
Updated all files to use centralized constants:
- middleware.ts
- Header.tsx
- ProductCard.tsx
- sitemap.ts
- root layout and locale layout
- routing.ts
Benefits:
- Adding new locale only requires updating ONE file (locales.ts)
- No more hardcoded locale lists scattered across codebase
- Cookie name defined in one place
- Type-safe locale validation
The navLinks were using localePath which was derived from locale
but the switchLocale was using pathname directly. This caused
mismatch when switching languages.
Changes:
- Root page.tsx now detects browser language (Accept-Language header)
and cookie preference to redirect to correct locale (/sr or /en)
- Middleware handles old Serbian URLs (/products, /about, etc.) with
301 redirects to /sr/* while respecting locale cookie
- Header component now includes language switcher dropdown with
flag icons (Serbian and English)
- Language selection sets NEXT_LOCALE cookie and persists preference
Behavior:
- User visits / → redirects to /sr or /en based on cookie/browser
- User selects English from dropdown → cookie set, redirects to /en/*
- User visits /products with en cookie → /en/products (301)
- User visits /products with sr/no cookie → /sr/products (301)
WARNING: This change breaks existing SEO URLs for Serbian locale.
Changes:
- Migrated from separate locale folders (src/app/en/, src/app/de/, etc.)
to [locale] dynamic segments (src/app/[locale]/)
- Serbian is now at /sr/ instead of / (root)
- English at /en/, German at /de/, French at /fr/
- All components updated to generate locale-aware links
- Root / now redirects to /sr (307 temporary redirect)
SEO Impact:
- Previously indexed Serbian URLs (/, /products, /about, /contact)
will now return 404 or redirect to /sr/* URLs
- This is a breaking change for SEO - Serbian pages should ideally
remain at root (/) with only non-default locales getting prefix
- Consider implementing 301 redirects from old URLs to maintain
search engine rankings
Technical Notes:
- next-intl v4 with [locale] structure requires ALL locales to
have the prefix (cannot have default locale at root)
- Alternative approach would be separate folder structure per locale
- Fix checkoutLinesDelete mutation: use 'id' param and 'linesIds' instead of 'lineIds'
- Fix viewport metadata warning: move to separate viewport export in layout.tsx
- Add sizes prop to checkout Image with fill
- Fix CartDrawer init checkout useEffect to prevent re-render loops
- Various product detail improvements
- Reviews scroll continuously (alternating left-to-right and right-to-left)
- 50 varied Serbian customer reviews praising Manoon products
- Mentions Anti-age Serum, Day Serum, Night Serum, Morning Glow, Anti-age Set
- Scroll effect similar to As Seen In banner
- Fix newsletter subscribe box centering on homepage
- Fix header overlap on product pages (pt-[72px] instead of pt-[100px])
- Add scroll-mt-[72px] for smooth scroll anchor offset
- Add HeroVideo component with video hero placeholder
- Add REDESIGN_SPECIFICATION.md with 9-phase design plan
- Clean up globals.css theme declarations and comments
- Update Header with improved sticky behavior and cart
- Update ProductDetail with better layout and spacing
- Update CartDrawer with improved slide-out cart UI
- Add English translations for updated pages
- Various CSS refinements across pages
- Create ErrorBoundary component to catch extension errors
- Ignore TronLink and other chrome-extension errors
- Prevent extension conflicts from crashing the app
- Fix syntax error in Checkout.ts (extra semicolon)

- Update page.tsx to use Saleor getProducts
- Add Saleor API domain to next.config.ts images config
