Issue with routes.yaml

Using Ghost
1

I have a english / french blog. I would like blog posts tagged with “fr” to be hidden from the main page and instead show up at /blog/fr.

I am trying with routes.yaml but am running into error when I try to upload the routes.yaml from Labs.

here is the modified routes.yaml:

routes:
collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    filter: "-tag:fr"
    template: index

  /blog/fr/:
    permalink: /blog/fr/{slug}/
    filter: "tag:fr"
    template: index

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

Error from ghost log:

I have tried 3-4 variants of this routes.yaml, it always breaks something, am I doing this the right way?

filter: tag:-fr

Try that ?

I tried with:

routes:
collections:
  /:
    permalink: /{slug}/
    filter: -tag:fr
    template: index

  /blog/fr/:
    permalink: /blog/fr/{slug}/
    filter: tag:-fr
    template: index

taxonomies:
  tag: /tag/{slug}/
  author: /author/{slug}/

Now I get:
