I just spotted a tweet [https://twitter.com/azu\_re/status/1339219961269473281](https://twitter.com/azu_re/status/1339219961269473281) that going to [https://developer.mozilla.org/ja](https://developer.mozilla.org/ja) leads to redirect an error page, while [https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/](https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/) (with trailing slash) works fine.  
It reproduced on my machine. Could somebody take a look?

I’m tracking it here: [https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/353](https://github.com/mdn/content/issues/353)  
Haven’t tested every locale yet, but it’s happening in `ja` and `fr` but not in `en-US`, `de`, or `sv-SE`.
