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

 

So far it seems to be working like a charm!
Browsing around, following links, testing to change language on multiple pages. Nice work!
Looks like the search function redirects away from the dev area, so I couldn't test that.

Tested on:
Ubuntu 16.04:
- Chromium Version 64.0.3282.167
- Firefox 58.0.2 (64-bit)

Android 7.0:
- Chrome Version 64.0.3282.137

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.
