Build ID: 20160511224433

Steps to reproduce:

1) Try to spell-check a word with the dictionary (with a right-click on the word)
2) Notice that the wanted language isn't available
3) Select "Add a dictionary"
4) Clicked on the French dictionary install link : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/dictionnaires-fran%C3%A7ais/



Actual results:

5) The page is not available and ask to inform the webmaster about this. (so the dictionary is not installed)
6) The webmaster can't answer to the mail and ask to submit it here.


Expected results:

The page should show the button to install the french dictionary.
The wanted behaviour is the same as for this language :

I just came here to log this fault too. Precisely the same as logged above, including that the webmaster can't answer the mail. Thinking that is a usability fault, too...

I need this urgently!

I get redirected to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ which links to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dictionnaires-fran%C3%A7ais/ which is a 404.

Jorge, who manages the "Dictionaries & Language Packs" page on AMO? Some of the "Install Dictionary" links (such as the French link) are 404.

We do, but they should be reported to https://github.com/mozilla/addons-server/issues/new

As far as I can see, the link works and points to https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/dictionnaire-fran%C3%A7ais1/. Bug 1276454 is a dupe of this one, so maybe the dev changed the URL and there was some caching issue that caused the error to some users.

When I load https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/, I receive a French "Install Dictionary" link with "dictionnaires" ending in 's' and not ending in '1'.
