1866885 - SUMO notification e-mails always link to en-US page

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(support.mozilla.org :: Localization, defect)

Description

[Balázs Meskó]

Steps to reproduce:

I am a contributor in SUMO, and I receive notification e-mails about answers to my posts. The mails contain a link to post an answer in the respective thread.

Actual results:

Notifications since at least 19 October always link to the en-US version of the site, so the URL starts with https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/

Expected results:

Before this, the URL did not contain a specific language code (https://support.mozilla.org/questions/), so I got the page in my language. This was the case at least up to 11 October.

Thanks for filing out this report, Mesko.

@Tasos Is there anything changed recently that may have an impact on this?

This could be coming from the changes in the middleware. I am adding a needinfor for Ryan here.

Comment 3

[Ryan Johnson (:rjohnson)]

This issue is due to our switch to Django's i18n system, specifically its reverse function, which we deployed on October 11, 2023. It's not a bug in Django's reverse function, which always adds the currently-activated locale to i18n-based URL's, but it is a change from our previous locale-free URL's within these email notifications. Should we return to our previous approach of using locale-free URL's?

Is this bug still valid?

Comment 5

It is indeed still valid. I would suggest what Ryan was asking, just leave out the locale from the URL, that works well.
