Public bug reported: I discovered that https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-help/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/ site directories are available in several different languages, but there is no way to switch between them from the site itself.
Currently, to access them, you need to manipulate Accept-Language request header in your browser. In Firefox, it can be done (1) by editing intl.accept_languages preference at about:config page, (2) in Preferences->Content->Languages window or (3) by using an extension like Quick Locale Switcher. I think it's better practice for multi-language site to provide some control to select the language. It will make difference when a user is not sure he/she understands a sentence in his/her current language correctly and wants to consult the same page in another, or suspects a translation mistake. It will make checking translations for mistakes on- line faster and easier. ** Affects: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/995364 Title: Language switching unavailable in official web help for 11.10 and 12.04 desktops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/995364/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
