GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 333611
live.gnome.org broken for some languages
Last modified: 2008-06-19 21:20:58 UTC
A friend of mine who is Danish noted that http://live.gnome.org/ has been broken since the last upgrade wrt some languages. The problem is that MoinMoin is translated into some languages, like Danish. MoinMoin respects the HTTP-Accept-Language header and serves live.gnome.org MoinMoin content in Danish. So far so good. However, it also serves a translated default MoinMoin front page instead of the customized live.gnome.org front page. So as a consequence, if you go to live.gnome.org using a browser set to prefer Danish, you will be presented with a Danish "Welcome to MoinMoin" page, which of course is utterly useless if you want to browse the live.gnome.org wiki. So this is very much a show stopper for anyone using a browser set to prefer a language which MoinMoin happens to be translated into, but for which no translated live.gnome.org content exist.
Confirmed. I think the easiest is to disable other locales different than English since (as for today) English is the only language used in lgo. Jeff, what do you think? Can we disable the locales? By doing this we would avoid trouble related with other locales we in fact can't efficiently support. Example: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325769
This bug seems to be fixed. Can you still reproduce it?

Well I think its a feature, not a bug. What one simply needs to do is to either say a few words in a local language or make a #REDIRECT FrontPage for the localized language.
