Hi Christina

This sounds like a job for IIS redirect in your Web.Config (if I've understood correctly) because it seems like 'all the urls for winter and summer will be the same, but just with /en/ put in front'. With an IIS redirect rule you can 'pattern match' so you only need to specify a single rule to match all the redirects - whereas with Skybrud or similar you would need to have one entry for each url, to map to it's new url, which might be tons of Urls! (and the database access might be slow)

Now the thing with IIS redirects, are they are a bit fiddily and you almost always get it wrong first time and match too much or too little, or miss the closing slash or whatever, but once you have the right rules in, they will be very fast, as they will action in IIS, before Umbraco gets involved trying to handle the request.

Lots of info here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/extensions/url-rewrite-module/url-rewrite-module-configuration-reference

but what you might end up with is two rules:

<rule name="Redirect Winter">
  <match url="^winter(.*)$" />
  <action type="Redirect" url="/en/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

Where {R:0} is a 'back capture' which means the 'whole original url'

so a url like

winter/about-winter/anything

will become

/en/winter/about-winter/anything

and then duplicate the same rule for summer:

<rule name="Redirect Summer">
  <match url="^summer(.*)$" />
  <action type="Redirect" url="/en/{R:0}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>

Anyway, it's regexes as I say, so probably never works first time! but hopefully gives you the insight that if you play around with these two rules, it will match and redirect all the urls in one place.
