1
change where something goes
To make something or someone go to a different place or in a different direction than before.
استعمال کا انداز:
to redirect [something] to [a place/person]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"direct again"* instead of *"redirect"*. Use *"redirect"* as a single verb meaning "send in a new direction": say *"They redirected the traffic"*, not *"They directed the traffic again"* unless you specifically mean repeating a previous action.

To help a person change what they are thinking about or using their energy on, from one thing to another.

ہم معنی الفاظ
refocus (Highlights concentrating again or differently, especially with attention or effort; often sounds slightly more formal or psychological.)
|
channel (Emphasizes guiding energy or emotions into a particular activity or direction.)
متضاد الفاظ

send future mail or calls elsewhere
To set a rule so that new mail, messages, or calls go to a different place or person.
استعمال کا انداز:
to redirect [mail/calls/emails] to [someone/somewhere]
عام غلطی:
Learners may overuse *"send"* and say *"send my mail to my new address"* when they mean a formal, ongoing arrangement. In many English-speaking countries, postal services use the verb *"redirect"* for this official service.
ہم معنی الفاظ
forward (Very common for email and calls; often suggests sending messages on, while *redirect* can suggest an automatic or formal change of destination.)
|
re-route (Used more for technical or official arrangements, similar to redirect but slightly more formal or administrative-sounding.)
متضاد الفاظ
deliver (In this context, to send mail or calls directly to the original address or number instead of changing where they go.)

automatic transfer from one URL to another
On the internet, a setting that moves you from one webpage to a different page automatically.
استعمال کا انداز:
to set up a redirect from [URL] to [URL]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse a *"redirect"* (an automatic jump to another page) with a *"link"* (something you must click). A redirect happens by itself after you open a URL; a link needs a user action.
ہم معنی الفاظ
forwarding (Used in phrases like "URL forwarding"; often less specific about the technical method than "redirect".)
متضاد الفاظ
direct access (Accessing a page at its own URL without being automatically sent there from another address.)
