What did you do? ================ Navigate to https://developer.mozilla.org/da/search?topic=addons&q=test What happened? ============== You get redirected to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/da/search?topic=addons&q=test Which is a 404. What should have happened? ========================== The bad locale should ideally be redirected to a fallback if the locale is not supported rather than just 404. For example in this case I'd expect the user to be sent to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/search?topic=addons&q=test assuming there's not a better fallback than en-US. Is there anything else we should know? ====================================== This bug was originally raised on AMO here: https://github.com/mozilla/addons/issues/139 we are sending users to the MDN search from AMO and we are specifying the locale from the one they are currently set to on AMO.
MDN Web Docs' bug reporting has now moved to GitHub. From now on, please file content bugs at https://github.com/mdn/sprints/issues/ and platform bugs at https://github.com/mdn/kuma/issues/.
