What's the best way to change/update the URL without causing a reload?

Hi, I've got the same question as this dude here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57101831/react-router-how-do-i-update-the-url-without-causing-a-navigation-reload
but there was no real go-to now how we should do it, because e.g the first answer to that question might cause problems "Beware that this change might bypass React Router's knowledge of the current path if it is again modified later. E.G. if you append 1 sub path using this method and then use RR to navigate up 1 level, it will visually jump 2 because RR still thinks the location is without the appended sub path. –

What's the recommended way to change/update the URL?

e.g user opens the german site of mywebsite.com/de but I know his settings that he prefers the spanish language, so I render the spanish text instead of the german text, and change the URL appropriately to mywebsite.com/es

What's the best way to do that?
