1512097 - Webpage language settings help button leads to an unmaintained page on SUMO

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Asif Youssuff]

I noticed when looking to update my preferred web page languages that clicking the "help" button in the dialog leads to an unmaintained page on SUMO. This looks pretty unprofessional.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open about:preferences
2. Navigate to Language, click "choose..." button near "choose your preferred language for displaying pages"
3. Click "Help" button in this dialog.

What happens:

Page opens: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-for-web-content-pop-ups-fonts-languages?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#w_languages

which has text: "This article is no longer maintained, so its content might be out of date."

Expected result:

This button should lead to a maintained page that documents the feature.

Joni, can you clarify why that warning is on that page? Is there a different page we should point to? Can we just remove the warning? Something else? (Happy to move this bug back to Fx::Preferences if we need to make a code change to point somewhere else)

Mark, radar'ing this to you in case you know if we've got other pages we want to point users to.

Thank you for reporting this. The original target article went out of date since we the preferences menu was updated and we should've remembered to replace the article in the in-product link.

I went ahead and swapped it out for a brand new article that's more user and search-friendly anyway: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choose-display-languages-multilingual-web-pages

Your in-product link will redirect automatically -- no code changes needed.

This page looks good. The other SUMO page referenced in bug 1485779 should be ready for updates as well.
