Research direction

Start with docs-llms/domain/multilingual.md, then trace the disabled language selector and the code that assigns root URLs and translation folders. First decide the UX rule for changing the default language; check its effects on links, SEO and usage. Done when the product rule, UI explanation and implementation agree without telling users to delete translations.
