[Bug 1532537] Re: Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com

 

I use firefox. I set the language to Dutch. Thereafter I got Dutch. In
the past I have heard from another Dutch person that they would prefer
English, particularly for the serverguide. We also heard once from a
Russian that they would prefer a subdirectory per language rather than
the language extension all in one directory method. I guess we would
have to understand the magnitude of the desire here before considering
changes.

Title:
  Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am a Dutch user. However, for virtually any technical documentation,
  English is the lingua franca on the web. It is an incredible nuisance
  to look up technical details in Dutch. I appreciate the effort to make
  help.ubuntu.com accessible in all languages, however it is a TERRIBLE
  idea (and quite frankly, since the content is available in English,
  but I can't access it, I classify it as a bug) to prevent people from
  changing the language they read it in.

  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  I expect to be able to read online help files in English.
  Instead, I am forced to read them in Dutch.
