Allow Redirecting to another language

Currently when adding a redirection there is a Language setting. If I understand correctly this setting is used to determine which language that should trigger the redirect rule which is done by the incoming url. So if it is set to English it will trigger a redirection if the incoming url is determined to be targeting the english language.

If the above is correct it means that the target url will always be to a page in the same language as the determined incoming url.

In a current project we have a lot of incoming urls that looks like this: /zh-hans
These urls trigger 404's since our site has the chinese prefix /cn
I want to redirect these urls to the front page in chinese: <front>

It seems that this is not possible using the Redirect module. If I add a rule with language set to english, the redirect will go to the english start page. If I set the language to chinese the redirect rule will not trigger, since /zh-hans is not considered to be a chinese page.

My suggestion is to add a Target language setting when adding a redirect rule. This setting would decide which language the redirection should point to, regardless of the language determined by the incoming url.

Hopefully this makes sense :)

For me the patches do not work - but if I unse undefined as redirect language and don't select an actual node, but a lcoale path, it works

For example:

Path: docs/DOC-1763

To: /de/node/2

Redirects then to the correct DE url alias of the node/2

This is not a good design and totally not obvious, but I guess this could count as "work as designed".

I'd preffer a selection "Destination Language" thou, if more then one language is defined in the site.

I stand corrected - it only works together with the path from #42 like I described above.
