setting a default locale

Question

I'm trying to implement the locale in the routes. I can get it to work like host/en/page & host/fr/page with this snippet:

#routing.yml

app:
    resource: "@AppBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation
    prefix:   /{_locale}
    requirements:
        _locale: nl|en

But my goal is to be able to use host/page where the locale would not be in the url, but is set as a default locale.

How do I do this? I can't find it anywhere in the documentation.

Edit, trying out the JMSI18nRoutingBundle

additions:

# config.yml

jms_i18n_routing:
    default_locale: nl
    locales: [nl, en]
    strategy: prefix_except_default

.

# security.yml > firewalls section

form_login:
        login_path: _login
        check_path: _login
        csrf_token_generator: security.csrf.token_manager
    logout:
        path:   _logout
        target: /

.

# routing.yml

_logout:
    path: /logout
    options: { i18n: false }
_login:
    path: /login
    options: { i18n: false }

Routes are prefixed as they should, but I'm unable to use my login and logout routes.

There is simple bundle for that https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSI18nRoutingBundle — malcolm, May 12 '16 at 08:29
I did just take a look at it but it's only for symfony 2. I'm using symfony 3. I can't even install it with composer. — SnelleJelle, May 12 '16 at 08:31
I'm on Symfony 3.0.6 and use this bundle every time. Add to composer: `"jms/i18n-routing-bundle": "^2.0",` — malcolm, May 12 '16 at 08:48
ah yes, seems I used the wrong version. This seems to work, put is as an answer and I'd happily accept it, thank you! — SnelleJelle, May 12 '16 at 09:47
Did you setup the bundle? Add config and everything should work. — malcolm, May 12 '16 at 10:13
yes yes it works, but now it expects the locales to prefix my login and logout routes — SnelleJelle, May 12 '16 at 10:14

Use https://github.com/schmittjoh/JMSI18nRoutingBundle bundle.

In app/config.yml setup the bundle for default locale.

jms_i18n_routing:
    default_locale: nl
    locales: [nl, en]
    strategy: prefix_except_default

You should also remove requirements and prefix added before to routes. It cannot broke routes if default language is set, the routes stay as is. – malcolm May 12 '16 at 12:59
I'm editing my post to better reflect what I've tried so far – SnelleJelle May 12 '16 at 13:37
And you removed all the stuff from routing that you added before? For me the bundle always working perfect, I do nothing with routing, if I not translate routes in `translations/routes.en.yml` or any other language, all routes stay at is before. – malcolm May 12 '16 at 16:43
nope, all my routes are basic routes, the others are shown above. – SnelleJelle May 12 '16 at 16:46
