Consider this site configuration:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
defaultContentLanguage = 'de'
defaultContentLanguageInSubdir = false
[languages.de]
languageCode = 'de-DE'
languageDirection = 'ltr'
languageName = 'Deutsch'
title = 'Projekt Dokumentation'
weight = 1
[languages.en]
languageCode = 'en-US'
languageDirection = 'ltr'
languageName = 'English'
title = 'Project Documentation'
weight = 2
{{< /code-toggle >}}
When visiting the German language site:
```go-html-template
{{ .Site.LanguagePrefix }} → ""
```
When visiting the English language site:
```go-html-template
{{ .Site.LanguagePrefix }} → /en
```
If you change `defaultContentLanguageInSubdir` to `true`, when visiting the German language site:
```go-html-template
{{ .Site.LanguagePrefix }} → /de
```
You may use the `LanguagePrefix` method with both monolingual and multilingual sites.
