System - Language Filter (Joomla 2.5)

Every once in a while you may find that your site URLs contain an "/en". When creating multilingual sites, this is normal. If you are not creating a multilingual site you could have accidentally enabled this function. If you want it removed, it's easy to do.

Usually, the quickest way to remove this from your URL is to disable the Language Filter. To do this, go to your Extensions menu and select Plug-in Manager.

Once you are in the Plug-in Manager you can either search through the pages or simply type in "System" in the filter blank and click "Search". This should reduce the number of plug-ins showing on the page allowing you to easily find the "System - Language Filter".

Find the "System - Language Filter" plugin and click the green check mark to disable it. If you have successfully disabled it, it will show a red circle.

Once you have disabled this plugin, view the front end of your website and you will see the /en is no longer a part of your site's URL.
