Hi,
I want to check redirects created for multilingual website, the URL contains "locale" keyword, so I need to replace it with language and then check where it is redirected to. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks

@shivagra : this little powershell script loops over a list of URLs and lists any redirects. So, maybe you could create and "input file" with all your locale Urls (one per line) and use this script?

Tnx for this.Its saved my day , when i need checking for nodes with forbiden access mesages.
