Well, currently the web server responses in the language the browser asks for, or in English if there is no preferred language set in the browser. This technique is used:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/content-negotiation.html It would be doable to add a note to the pages, which explains it to the users, but changing the technique for selecting language won't be done in the near future due to a lack of resources. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Documentation Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-docs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532537 Title: Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am a Dutch user. However, for virtually any technical documentation, English is the lingua franca on the web. It is an incredible nuisance to look up technical details in Dutch. I appreciate the effort to make help.ubuntu.com accessible in all languages, however it is a TERRIBLE idea (and quite frankly, since the content is available in English, but I can't access it, I classify it as a bug) to prevent people from changing the language they read it in. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS I expect to be able to read online help files in English. Instead, I am forced to read them in Dutch.
