Disable language

Disable language lets you disable languages on Drupal 8 sites.

It does the following things when you disable a language:

• Filters out the disabled languages in the language switcher
• Filters out the generated links in an Simple XML sitemap (https://www.drupal.org/project/simple_sitemap)
• Filters out the generated links in the head (with the hreflang attribute)
• Redirects user that don't have permissions to view disabled languages
• Choose the language to redirect to if the user doesn't have permission (configurable for each language)
• Allows you to override the redirect behaviour for certain routes/paths. Default routes for one time login functionality have been added as defaults and are in an update hook.

Common use cases:

• The site is live but you want to give the admin the possibility to stage content in a certain language, so it isn't visible for certain roles. (e.g. anonymous,...) until the admin is finished.
