[#22013] - Multilanguage - URL Language Code & SEO

Hi guys,
Example: Joomla 3.8.12 Multilanguage En/Es Site enabled. The URLs will be:
-
mydomain.com (En language with Plugin > System - Language Filter > Remove URL Language Code: Yes)
-
mydomain.com/es
-
mydomain.com/terms-and-conditions
-
mydomain.com/es/terminos-y-condiciones > mydomain.com/terminos-y-condiciones
As far as I know there isn't a way, right now, to remove the URL language code for all languages less than the home page (logically). Am I right ?
A real language site should have different article / category Alias URL titles depending on language I'm using, so I'll have always unique aliases.
New feature request:
A - Would be a good think to extend the "Remove URL Language Code:" function to all languages enabled, the default one and the others
B - and / or simply add another option to the plugin, something like:
- Plugin > System - Language Filter > Remove URL Language Code default language: Yes / No (it mean included the home page)
- Plugin > System - Language Filter > Remove URL Language Code other languages: Yes / No (it mean on all pages less than the home page)
What do you think about ?

Indeed. It is totally impossible to take off the url language code for all content languages.
It can be done only for the default site language.
Closing.
EDIT: This was already explained to you on the forum 2 years ago...

Hi guys,
thanks for reply here and sorry for my delay. I saw that the ticket has been closed, but I want to answer anyway for education and respect to you who have taken the time to read my ticket.

A - the possibility that it can happen should be very low;
B - as a plugin option, if I switch on I take that risk;
C - when happen I can always manage (modify/change) manually the alias URL.
Considering these 3 thinks I opened this ticket.

"EDIT: This was already explained to you on the forum 2 years ago..."
I am (and always I'm try to be) a polite person. I'm a joomler from its beginning and I always follow all the community rules.
- I made a question two years ago: "Do you think it is anything we can expect with the "New URL Routing" ?" adding a comment to a topic https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=711&t=917190#p3437181 in the Language forum during the "New URL Routing" development.
- You gently answered me: "...The new router does not touch at that aspect..." - "...there is no way to do what you want..."
- I came back on the same topic two years later: "I want come back to this old topic now that SEO feature has been completely added" https://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=711&t=965224
- Someone has splitted my comment from the original comment and, logically, now, the real mean of my question is incomprehensible and lost.
- @fcoulter has gently explaned me "...Part of the way that such sites work is that each URL contains a parameter for the language. It can only be dropped for the default language because that can be assumed if there is no language parameter in the URL..." and added: "...You can post the feature request here, but I think that you will get the same response..."
So, sorry if I didn't understood your "explanation" before.
What would you do if the alias is the same in two languages
