To rewrite nginx for multi-language SEO URLs in Magento, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the language codes used in your Magento store for each language. For example, if you are using "en" for English and "fr" for French.
  2. Create rewrite rules in your Nginx configuration file to map the SEO URLs for each language to the appropriate Magento store view. Here is an example of a rewrite rule for English and French languages:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name example.com;

    location / {
        rewrite ^/en/(.*)$ /index.php?___store=en&$1 last;
        rewrite ^/fr/(.*)$ /index.php?___store=fr&$1 last;
    }

    # Other server configurations...
}


  1. Test the rewrite rules by accessing the Magento store with different language codes in the URL. For example, try accessing http://example.com/en/category/product for the English version and http://example.com/fr/category/product for the French version.
  2. Make sure to update any internal links in your Magento store to use the language-specific URLs to ensure proper SEO optimization.
  3. Once you have tested and confirmed that the rewrite rules are working as expected, restart Nginx to apply the changes.


By following these steps, you can configure Nginx to rewrite URLs for different languages in Magento, allowing for better SEO optimization for multi-language websites.
