i18n fallback in SSG mode does not generate pages about astro HOT 2 OPEN

I can see the bug, but your expectations isn't correct:

Loading localhost/fr should render the /pages/index.astro file with currentLocale set to fr (even when no /pages/fr/index.astro exists).

localhost/fr will redirect to localhost. There's no rendering here. The docs are explicit about it:

you can redirect a user from one locale to another on a per-language basis.

Also, your example isn't correct. Can you fix it? You created an en/ folder but didn't set prefixDefaultLocale: true.

Fair enough but a redirect also doesn't seem to be working. The docs do say:

Astro will ensure that a page is built in src/pages/fr for every page that exists in src/pages/es/.

But I guess what you're saying is the page is built but all it has in it is a redirect to the fallback? I guess a feature request would be to be able to configure that behavior (perhaps possible with manual mode).

What I don't understand then, is if I have translated pages for all my site, but a single page not translated, and a user gets redirected to another locale as a fallback. Won't Astro then set currentLocale to the fallback locale, and therefore all future links from that page will also be the fallback locale? It seems like a better set up would be to render the fallback locale but with currentLocale still set to the original locale, but with some other property set which indicates it's a fallback page (so a banner or message can be displayed).

Also, your example isn't correct. Can you fix it? You created an en/ folder but didn't set prefixDefaultLocale: true.

Apologies, updated, I deleted the en/ folder as for my set up I had prefixDefaultLocale: false.

Thanks!
