Description

[Tim [:pollti]]

E-mail messages saying sth like "... has a revision ready for localization" redirect to a locale-neutral "translate article" page (like https://support.mozilla.org/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/locales?utm_campaign=wiki-ready-l10n&utm_medium=email&utm_source=notification) which redirects to a localized page in the user's locale: [for German:] https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/locales?utm_campaign=wiki-ready-l10n&utm_medium=email&utm_source=notification. This page, of course, still has the en-us slug. It would be nice, if clicking on "edit article" [=Artikel bearbeiten] from here would work for localized versions e.g. by linking to https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/add-ons-finden-und-installieren-firefox-android/edit or by making https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/edit work), because it would make l10n much faster.

This would fix the problem described in bug 611641 comment 18.

Steps to reproduce:
# I recieved an email for l10n: "... has a revision ready for localization"
# I click on the link (e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/locales?utm_campaign=wiki-ready-l10n&utm_medium=email&utm_source=notification)
# As a German, I am redirected to https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/locales?utm_campaign=wiki-ready-l10n&utm_medium=email&utm_source=notification.
# Clicking on "artikel bearbeiten" (= edit article) leads to 404.

Expected result:
It would be great, if https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/find-and-install-add-ons-firefox-android/locales could redirect to or be like https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/add-ons-finden-und-installieren-firefox-android/edit (same link with German slug).
As a localizer, I could start translating faster then.
