I want to change the "Language negotiation" setting (admin/settings/language/configure) from "Path prefix with language fallback" to "Domain name only" on production site that have thousands of translated nodes.
On a first look it seems that I need some Apache redirects for SEO reasons. For example, for the Italian pages it may need
RedirectRule ^it([/]?)(.*) http://www.mydomain.it$1$2 [L,R=301]I didn't find any related guidelines. What are the side effects? Are there some "best practices"?
Thank you!

On a dev environment...
I did the change on dev environment... Everything seems to be OK. I solved also the SEO issue directly through mod rewrite.
I notice that after doing this you must perform a Clear Cache, otherwise old content may be served to the anonymous user.
What else? I saw the warning from Languages > Configuration (see attachment) and I'm still concerned of side-effects.
