In my example, the Code for the Store View for both of the Websites are “english”. So, I did need to swap the variables around as you mentioned. But those variables relate to the screenshot example. If that makes sense? Although, I will admit that this is all worked out in my head until I actually test and document the real thing.
Quick heads up about the .htaccess file… Whenever you upgrade Magento, it replaces the .htaccess file with a default copy from the repository. When possible, save your edits in the Apache/NginX Config. Having said that, I did read somewhere once that you can configure Composer to never update the .htaccess file. But I’ve not looked into that yet. Currently, I still go in and put my amendments back after each upgrade - But that seems inefficient and easy to overlook.
