Our site is resolving some relative urls as languages, where it should be resolving items instead.
e.g.
mydomain.com/eu should be resolving the item EU under the home item.
Instead, Sitecore is resolving the home item with the language as Basque (EU)
What is an effective way to prevent this from happening?
If you don't want FilePath based language resolving, simple do below setting in Sitecore.config:
<setting name="Languages.AlwaysStripLanguage" value="false" />
This will do nothing but ignoring the StripLanguage processor from preprocessRequest pipeline.
By default first item (after domain name), Sitecore checks whether it's a language or not. If it's a registered language of .NET, Sitecore will consider it a language, else will consider it as an Item inside Home. So, above configuration should fix your issue.
