Ah yes, that's a very good point actually. One other option for a small menu icon would be the Wikipedia mobile site approach: https://i.imgur.com/MNBHqnj.png That icon under the title opens up a list of languages. But maybe it's familiar to regular Wikipedia users, but wouldn't be so effective on the LibreOffice site for newcomers...

I don't think we want to use flags as it's about countries and not languages, we have always tried to avoid them as it could lead to some issues.

Yes, I totally agree that we need to make the other language sites more prominent. We often get emails to info@ from non-English speakers who try their best to give feedback or ask questions, but don't know that there's a whole LibreOffice site in their language. I think the banner is OK, but it does push the rest of the content down a bit. Is there any way to add a "Dismiss" button so that it's not shown again to people who don't want to change? Another alternative would be to have an extra menu on the right-hand side, after donate, with a UK/USA flag for the English site. This would keep it nice and small, and could have other flags in the drop-down list underneath. Not sure how easy that is to implement, though!

[libreoffice-website] Multilingual LibreOffice website
Thanks to the huge international community around The Document Foundation, numerous volunteers (and non-) work to maintain a version of the LibreOffice website in their own language. Especially, when these are kept up-to-date, these versions should be promoted, maybe not as substitutes for the official English website but as local complementary resources. It could also be that, for a user, knowing that there are other people talking his own language in the community might lead him to more motivation than seeing the community as a group of English-speaking individuals. This consideration is especially valid as work is being carried out to have more volunteers on board. Thus, to promote the different versions of the LibreOffice website better, it is being proposed to add a small notification bar on top of the menu to hint the user about the availability of a local version of the website. This mailing post is being submitted to call for feedback about this addition to the LibreOffice website before asking administrators to implement it on the official website. If you want to see what is the output of the proposal, please visit newdesign.libreoffice.org. On top of the green menu bar, there should be a black banner with some text on it. The actual proposal is that the banner is seen only by those who have set a primary language other than English (US) in their browser. However, to allow testing, this has been overridden to show up always. (Please note that those who have English (US) set as their browser's primary language will see incomplete text - This is expected.) As a call to action, the community is being asked to give its feedback about the proposal. Feel free to comment about the output or report any bugs you might encounter. Thank you. -- Sent from: http://document-foundation-mail-archive.969070.n3.nabble.com/Website-f1644957.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
