1203870 - DE: First Launch Browser Start Page should be en-US

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Project Organization, defect)

Description

[Rainer Bielefeld]

First launch of a new version leads to SeaMonkey Version info page like <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.35/>
A German SeaMonkey will show <http://www.seamonkey.at/releases/2.35> or similar.
But currently <http://www.seamonkey.at> maintenance only occurs occasionally ("Anmerkung: Diese Website wird nur unregelmäßig als Hobby gewartet"), so I recommend to change default page for German SM first launch to <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/.../>, if KaiRo won't create an auto-redirect to there for empty pages.

Invalid. That's up to the localizer.

Comment 2

@KaiRo
It's inappropriate to show users an empty page without any information concerning the release.

What solution for  the problem do you have in mind?

Comment 3

[Robert Kaiser]

Don't insult me. The page is not empty.

I think you should talk to the localizer to change the reference
to the German start page elsewhere.

I am the localizer and the website admin there. If those complaints about my work on those things go on, I will just stop doing anything in SeaMonkey L10n (so far, there was no version that was not fully localized but that would change fast if I stop contributing) and shut down the site without notice.

There is nothing wrong with that start page being what it is. A needed improvement is me updating the site for the very recent releases, but my life is not centered around SeaMonkey any more nowadays and I have way more work and things to do than what I have time for, so lower-priority and (thanks for all of Rainer's complaints) less fun things like updating the SeaMonkey website get pushed out until I find time and nerves to do it.
