Page name already used!

[flips]

I’m trying to make dual language site, with the structure of

/page1
/page2

etc. for the main language, and for english similar, but prefixed

/en/page1
/en/page2

But it looks like I can’t have two pages named page1, even though they’re not in the same location, tried here using page name ps:

Getting the error “Page name already used!” … So I must have unique names for each page, even when they’re not in the same directory? (I was hoping to preserve existing paths for the site I’m replacing, so I guess I’d have to put up permanent redirects in .htaccess, if that’s the case)

Yes, this is correct and is also my experience. For page names that have the same name I’ve started using suffixes but a prefix would also work if that’s more your style.

@Norm might be able to explain the how/why here, but I surmise that this might have to with the Blocs preview not respecting paths and rendering all pages “flat” and within the same directory (e.g. most file systems won’t allow identical names in the same directory).
