I am building a NextJS based site with multiple locales (different domains) where the data comes from storyblok CMS (folder level translation). I am trying to figure out the best approach to statically generate the paginated URLs for the blog and since the data is known at build time, I figured the best approach would be to generate all URLs in getStaticPaths and then fetch the data for each Page in getStaticProps. This works fine for routes without parameters but when returning a page parameter along with the slug parameter in getStaticPaths, I cannot access it in getStaticProps. I know that query params cannot be accessed in getStaticPaths because we cannot know the custom querys at buildtime, but in this specific case, we actually can since these paths are generated in getStaticProps.

Accessing the page query param in getStaticProps would solve the problem since I can pass that value to the API request and get the right blogposts to display on the right paginated pages.
Fetching data directly in the component is not preferable for SEO reasons since it will be client-side JS.
All the logic is for the whole site is in the pages/[[...slug.jsx]] file since there are multiple locales, but would it make sense to split it up so I have a dynamic file for the blog itself (across locales)?
I have tried returning the page query param in several different ways, but getStaticProps will only see the param that matches the filename (ex. params.slug will be accessible because the file is called [[...slug]].jsx].
