how do get language routes to work locally?

[JohnRDOrazio]

I'm seeing on the netlify preview that language routes are working with the new astro build.

However, when I try to run locally with npm run dev, none of the language routes are working, I get a 404 not found error.
Is there a step that needs to be taken before running locally? Environment variables?

I found the solution in the netlify.toml file, you first have to run:

npx astro-i18next generate
npm run build

Then you can run npm run preview and language routes will work.

I can't get the language routes to work with npm run dev though, only with npm run preview.

In any case, perhaps this info can be added to the Readme?

The solution you found is correct!

I'll add this to the readme. I believe they do work in npm run dev for me, but I'll confirm the right way to do it before adding to the readme. #111
