Get the localized pathname that the user sees in the browser?

[Pustinyak]

Using the new i18n routing, the locale is stripped from the pathname when I try to get it.

In the documentation for getInitialProps is described a way to get the url using asPath:

asPath - String of the actual path (including the query) shown in the browser

However that's not true with the new i18n pathname routing. If the url is "/en/something" then asPath points to "/something".

I've tried using resolvedUrl and req.url from getServerSideProps's context but there's no difference.

Edit:

I found the issue here - #18782

Is there a way to get the localized pathname or somehow to know if the user came from a localized path?

For example: If the default locale is EN, there's no way to check if the user came from "/en/something" or "/something".

After a lot of debugging I found a good way to do a check for this:

Use context.req.__nextStrippedLocale. It works on getServerSideProps and getInitialProps and it returns true if the current pathname is localized, otherwise it's undefined if there is no locale in the pathname.

thanks for this solution, @EmilTruthful - I had this problem on a big international localization project and using work around I am able to enable the default locale from all locales without it rerouting to the host country. Thanks again for posting it!
