In the case where you have only one language the lang slug is not truly needed. I would suggest something like /article-url if you are going to shorten as far as you can go. You could use the language as a postfix /article-url-en if necessary. They idea would be to make these URLs as compact as possible for sharing on social sites and typing from memory. Also, by moving to this scheme you should be able to add /category-name-en to separate categories and have a more flat URL structure...

Would you be ok when you visit "your.domain/article-slug", we automatically rewrite the URL to "your.domain/language/category/category-slug/article/article-slug" in the browser address bar?

We can't support /en/article-url because it conflicts with /en/category-url. We can technically do this but this would add some extra latency to the request, so it's not ideal.
How about /en/article/article-url?
