> > If a user changes the language, we need to keep track of this change
somehow; otherwise it's lost when the user navigates to another page. I
wanted to avoid cookies, so I decided to keep state by passing the
?lang=CC argument from page to page. It's not elegant. Is there a better
way?
> We are using something similar in tpo.org, but the url looks quite
better: `torproject.org/ru/about/history/` where `/ru/` is the locale.

I prefer to leave the URL as it is now. This means that people who are
happy with their auto-selected locale won't see any changes to the URL
while people who use the language switcher will see the URL change to,
say, `https://bridges.torproject.org/?lang=pl`.

> > The patch treats en, en_US, and en_GB as different languages, which
leads to three (unnecessary?) options in the dropdown menu. Is this
reasonable? (Note that we cannot just remove any language with a region
code in it because Chinese only exists as zh_CN, zh_HK, and zh_TW.)
>
> In this context, maybe you don't have any critical difference between
en_US and en_GB, but as you mentioned zh_X glyphs may change. I think we
should keep each of them.

Gotcha, thanks.
