Nextjs google site verification with next-intl

[aboutjquery]

I am using Nextjs + next-intl. I now need google site verification. I chose to add meta, but it was unsuccessful because mydomain.com will automatically jump to /en/ or /zh/ route depending on the language because app/page.tsx has below code:

export default function RootPage() {
  redirect('/en');
}

I tried adding below code to app/layout.tsx

export const metadata: Metadata = {
  verification: {
    google: '...',
  },
};

And then clicked the Google search console verification button, but it was unsuccessful. I tried adding meta to app/[locale]/layout.tsx and it succeeded, but it can only be verified when the URL is the Language. , but I want to verify the URL without language routing, am I wrong? I don’t need this? I just need to add meta to the two locales respectively?

You might have an easier time by using the HTML file upload method.

Thank you for your answer. I am using the Droplets of DxxxxxOxxxx to place my nextjs + next-intl project.

According to google instructions I should upload to the root directory, but I don't know where the root directory of the nextjs project is ;)

After I run npm run build, the /.next/ directory was generated. I think that is the root directory ;)

I tried uploading the html file to

/var/www/mydomain/
/var/www/mydomain/.next/
/var/www/mydomain/.next/server/app/
/var/www/mydomain/public/

But all failed. I am not very familiar with nextjs / next-intl. I hope someone can tell me where I should upload it. Thank you.

public should work (see docs), but maybe you have to put the file there before you build your app.

Work very well, thank you so much.
