Describe the bug
Hi,
I am trying to integrate a headless CMS (Storyblok) into my Nuxt / nuxt‑i18n project.
I need to create a catch‑all route and a preview route to handle the business requirements.
The preview route has nuxt‑i18n disabled because I do not need localization on that route.
The problem is that, when I navigate to the preview route with an SSR request, the matched route is the catch‑all one, because the module prepends the locale to the path, creating a redirect before the correct route is matched.
This does not seem to be a Nuxt bug, and I think it may be related to issue #3871.
In the reproduction demo I provided, you can see the problem.
The expected behavior is that both SSR and non‑SSR navigation match the preview route.
Thanks for your support.
