680663 - Allow searching for addons including a specific locale

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 635830

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Search, enhancement)

Description

[Nicolas Turcot (:nico@nc)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110812234425

Steps to reproduce:

Non English speaking users should be able to filter their search in order to find only addons translated in their language (or any other).

The French community has for long maintained a website listing the extensions translated in French (<http://extensions.geckozone.org/Firefox>), but it is both extremely time-consuming (especially regarding compatibility check with Firefox fast release process, and considering that the locale inclusion is tested "manually") and has a use very close to AMO.

A checkbox could for instance be added right under the search field to "Search only addons translated in [language |v]".


Actual results:

1) Forget all your English language skills (if necessary, learn an other one)
2) Search for any addon
3) Install it.
4) Option 1 : you are lucky, the addon was translated in your language
   Option 2 : you are not lucky, the addon is only in English and you don't understand how it is working. That's again Mozilla's fault so you switch to Chrome.


Expected results:

Being able to search only for addons translated in a specific language, and/or being warned if the addon is not.
