The website is localized, and exists also in my native language, Norwegian.
that's great. Thanks for your work. :-)
Now, there is a feature on the site to show a redirect info box if you visit
AOO in another language than your own.
However, this is not triggered when I simply visit www.openoffice.org, but only
when I explicitly select english
as language in the topmost site language selector, opening
http://www.openoffice.org/?redirect=soft (notice redirect param)
That redirect link is broken for Norwegian, since it takes you to
http://www.openoffice.org/nb resulting in a 404.
The issue here is that “nb" is the ISO code for Norwegian Bokmål, also used in
the download file name. But we have a
common web site for Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian Nynorsk at
http://www.openoffice.org/no/
IMHO this reflects the old situation where we still counted with a 1:1
connection between a localized OpenOffice installation and a respective
localized website.
Of course we can change it to redirect to "no" only, when a localized
website in "nb" is not relevant.
I’d like to fix some of this. Here are some questions in that regard:
* Is the info box supposed to show whenever another translation matching your
browser setting is available?
If you mean the yellow info box above the big headlines with "This site
is also available in <language>. Just click here", then it depends on
the setting for this language (see answer for next question).
The redirect box is always visible regardless of the language of the
user's browser.
* Why is it only the English dropdown option having ?redirect=soft
You have need differentiate between "hard", "soft" and "none":
- "hard" --> do a redirect to the localized website without any hint.
- "soft" --> show a message that a localized website is available and
wait for the user's click. Then do the redirect.
- "none" --> do and show nothing.
I think the parameter "soft" on the English webpage (as initial portal
website) has no meaning anymore as the "/msg_l10n.js" file is used. And
here it's "none".
BTW:
Also here we need to do the "no" <--> "nb" cleanup.
* I’d like to change from having two Norwegian entries in the topmost site
dropdown to only one (since both point to “no”)
Please see edited brand.html file: http://home.apache.org/~janhoy/brand.html
OK, this can be done. I would do it when the new "no" website is ready.
* For the problem of redirect box for Norwegian “nb” -> 404, should we edit
the script in index.html
to add an exception for Norwegian, like there is for Portuguese, or should
the redirect variable in
msg_prop_l10n.js add a third column being the language code to use when
constructing the site URL?
The redirection code is on the inital portal website. No need to change
something in the localized website.
My suggestion is to make your updated "no-test" public. Then you can see
if it's ready to become "no" and then we can do the cleanup for both
Norwegian languages in the redirect box.
Is that OK for you? Or do you have other suggestions?
