1200292 - Remove Czech (cs) from MDN

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Localization, defect)

Description

[Michal Stanke (Mozilla.cz) [:mstanke][:MikkCZ]]

Czech has been added to MDN in bug 348558 9 years ago. There were some articles translated, but now if still any left, they are pretty outdated.

These days MDN is out of our scope, and developers prefer English resources. The only worthy page is our translation dictionary (https://developer.mozilla.org/cs/docs/P%C5%99ekladov%C3%BD_slovn%C3%ADk), which has been migrated to http://www.mozilla.cz/zapojte-se/lokalizace/prekladovy-slovnik/, but eventhough still outdated.

Please remove Czech from MDN and use default redirection instead if possible.

We can't. We need the locale for links from Firefox and Marketplace to work.

If Czech is needed on MDN, is it possible to get the list of localized articles and/or delete them from MDN, so we can be 100% sure there won't be any localized but obsolete content?

The list is there: https://developer.mozilla.org/cs/docs/all

One of the key point in MDN is that very few documentation really get outdated: we may have more info, something may become obsolete or no more experimental, but most of the Web platform stay compatible.

If something is old wrt the en-US original, just switch the "Localisation in progress" on it, it will switch a call for action for readers.
