Research direction

Start by inspecting the affected /en/download route and the site's existing language or locale handling. Verify how a language-neutral /download URL should choose a browser language and redirect, then confirm that the existing localized download page remains unchanged.

https://nodejs.org/en/download

Description of the problem

The nice download page for Node.js requires a language code in the URL (https://nodejs.org/en/download/ instead of https://nodejs.org/download/). For the purposes of linking to this page from elsewhere on the internet, it would be great to have that neutral version of the URL that redirects to the page language based on the user's browser settings (like how https://developer.mozilla.org redirects to https://developer.mozilla.org/de for German readers.
