Move WordPress directory with redirection

    I have a wordpress site at example.com. WordPress is installed to example.com/wordpress. When I visit example.com I see my blog. When I click on a post, I see that post in the form : https://example.com/2016/03/11/example-post/. This site is in Klingon language, for example.

    I have another wordpress installation in example.com/en. This site is in English language, obviously. This installation is completely separate from Klingon installation.

    I want to make a front page in example.com. In this page I will show two options: Klingon and English. Visitor will click to one of them, and will go to respective site.

    For this purpose I want to move my Klingon installation to example.com/kg address.

    But it is important for me to not lose existing links from other pages and search engines to my current Klingon site. Therefore I want current address form of https://example.com/2016/03/11/example-post/ to be redirected to https://example.com/kg/2016/03/11/example-post/.

    Is this possible, and how, please?

    Well, I made some progress.

    I renamed my example.com/wordpress directory to example.com/kg

    I changed in Admin/General page site url from example.com/wordpress to example.com/kg

    I used “Search and Replace” plugin and changed example.com/wordpress entries to example.com/kg in all my tables, to fix broken uploads, links etc.

    Now redirection works. But automatic redirection based on language does not. Let me explain.

    example.com/kg is my Klingon site.
    example.com/en is my English site.
    example.com/2016/03/11/example-post/ is displayed in Klingon. This means existing links from other sites will still work.

    However, my current problem:

    I cannot give my visitors the option to manually choose their language when they directly access to example.com.

    I thought that it would be better to implement automatic redirection based on their language. So I used this php code to make automatic redirection. Automatic redirection works, with a little adaptation: I changed

    include("index_en.php");

    codes to

    require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/en/wp-blog-header.php' );

    However, posts and pages are broken now. None of them can be found.

    Can you guide me from this point, please?
