How to keep the query params when changing locale in Rails 6

I am trying to preserve query params when changing locale in Rails 6, I only found the default_url_options method & if I try to pass the params to that it doesn't work throwing unpermitted params passed exception

For example:

A URL having http://localhost:3000/some_path?token=ABcasdjlaweQWd

Should be changed to http://localhost:3000/de/some_path?token=ABcasdjlaweQWd

But currently, it only becomes: http://localhost:3000/some_path & I lose the query params

Keeping things secure is important, so I don't want to hack my way disabling the params filter, but it should be possible to pass the params during language change without big hacks.

Update:

I am changing local by navbar link_to btn (for different locale), for example: link_to url_for( :locale => 'fr' ) that will change locale part of the current url to the french locale for example

What is the correct way to maintain the query params on language change?

Without overriding the default_url_options, a better way is to make the language change button behave differently, so that it won't remove the query params

So instead of this:

= link_to url_for( locale: 'en' )

It should be changed to this, which will keep the params:

 = link_to request.params.merge( locale: 'en' )
