I am using polylang plugin for wordpress multi language site. As per SEO guidelines, home page www.myweb.com should redirect to www.myweb.com/en with 301 status. Currently its redirecting with 302 status. function home_requested() does this but we can't touch the plugin core functions. I tried by adding filter for this function. Also tried by add filter for wp_redirect function but not working. Is there any other way to sort this. Thank you.

You probably fixed this already, however, posting for other people that are looking to solve this issue.

I solved it by editing the choose-lang.php file in the plugin

wp-content->plugins->polylang->frontend->choose-lang.php :277 or do a ctrl + f for 302 and replace that with 301.

I tested below code working fine.

Add below code in functions.php file

add_filter('pll_redirect_home', 'my_pll_redirect_home' );
function my_pll_redirect_home( $redirect ) 
{
    header( 'Vary: Accept-Language' );
    wp_safe_redirect( $redirect, 301, POLYLANG );
    exit;
}
