    Hello everybody!
    I have set up Babel in my website and the link to the English version http://mywebsite.eu/en/index.html works, but I have a 404 error on http://mywebsite.eu/en/
    Anybody knows why and how to fix it?

    Here is my .htaccess:

    # MODX supports Friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. You must serve web
    # pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to use this functionality, and you must
    # change the file name from ht.access to .htaccess.
    #
    # Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODX.
    # E.g., "/modx" if your installation is in a "modx" subdirectory.
    #
    # You may choose to make your URLs non-case-sensitive by adding a NC directive
    # to your rule: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
    
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    
    # Rewrite www.domain.com -> domain.com -- used with SEO Strict URLs plugin
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^mywebsite\.eu [NC]
    RewriteRule (.*) http://mywebsite.eu/$1 [R=301,L]
    #
    # or for the opposite domain.com -> www.domain.com use the following
    # DO NOT USE BOTH
    #
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example-domain-please-change\.com [NC]
    #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    
    
    # Rewrite secure requests properly to prevent SSL cert warnings, e.g. prevent 
    # https://www.domain.com when your cert only allows https://secure.domain.com
    #RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443
    #RewriteRule (.*) https://example-domain-please-change.com/$1 [R=301,L]
    
    
    
    # The Friendly URLs part 
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
    
    
    # Make sure .htc files are served with the proper MIME type, which is critical
    # for XP SP2. Un-comment if your host allows htaccess MIME type overrides.
    
    #AddType text/x-component .htc
    
    
    
    # If your server is not already configured as such, the following directive
    # should be uncommented in order to set PHP's register_globals option to OFF.
    # This closes a major security hole that is abused by most XSS (cross-site
    # scripting) attacks. For more information: http://php.net/register_globals
    #
    # To verify that this option has been set to OFF, open the Manager and choose
    # Reports -> System Info and then click the phpinfo() link. Do a Find on Page
    # for "register_globals". The Local Value should be OFF. If the Master Value
    # is OFF then you do not need this directive here.
    #
    # IF REGISTER_GLOBALS DIRECTIVE CAUSES 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERRORS :
    #
    # Your server does not allow PHP directives to be set via .htaccess. In that
    # case you must make this change in your php.ini file instead. If you are
    # using a commercial web host, contact the administrators for assistance in
    # doing this. Not all servers allow local php.ini files, and they should
    # include all PHP configurations (not just this one), or you will effectively
    # reset everything to PHP defaults. Consult www.php.net for more detailed
    # information about setting PHP directives.
    
    #php_flag register_globals Off
    
    
    
    # For servers that support output compression, you should pick up a bit of
    # speed by un-commenting the following lines.
    
    #php_flag zlib.output_compression On
    #php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5
    
    
    
    # The following directives stop screen flicker in IE on CSS rollovers. If
    # needed, un-comment the following rules. When they're in place, you may have
    # to do a force-refresh in order to see changes in your designs.
    
    #ExpiresActive On
    #ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
    #ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
    #ExpiresByType image/png A2592000
    #BrowserMatch "MSIE" brokenvary=1
    #BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4.[0-9]{2}" brokenvary=1
    #BrowserMatch "Opera" !brokenvary
    #SetEnvIf brokenvary 1 force-no-vary

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(en|it)/images(.*)$ images$2 [L,QSA]
     
    # redirect all other requests to /en/* and /it/*
    # to index.php and set the cultureKey parameter
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(en|it)?/?(.*)$ index.php?cultureKey=$1&q=$2 [L,QSA]
    
    


    My friendly URLs settings:
    friendly_urls: YES
    friendly_urls_strict: NO
    use_alias_path: YES

    My en context settings:
    base_url: /en/
    cultureKey: en
    site_url: http://mywebsite.eu/en/

    Thank you very much!
