Both `absLangURL` and [`relLangURL`](/functions/rellangurl/) are similar to their [`absURL`](/functions/absurl/) and [`relURL`](/functions/relurl) relatives but will add the correct language prefix when the site is configured with more than one language.

So for a site  `baseURL` set to `https://example.com/hugo/` and the current language is `en`:

```
{{ "blog/" | absLangURL }} → "https://example.com/hugo/en/blog/"
{{ "blog/" | relLangURL }} → "/hugo/en/blog/"
```
