        Yes, it needs to be a 301 redirect.  If your permanent homepage will be /en then you should 100% permanently redirect your old homepage, a 302 is just a temporary redirect you should only use it for temporary redirecting.

        Its not hard to do a 301, here is some information for your devs.

          Thank you.
          I will insist then.

          It is just a django thing, it gets a bit more complicated but we will do it like that.

          Thanks
