371780 - The "Build Your Own" link in the navigation menu is hardcoded to english

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Administration, defect)

Description

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

In the navigation menu, the "Build Your Own" link is hardcoded to http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Extensions, despite documentation existing in other languages.

We can't just drop LANG in there though, because documentation doesn't exist in all the languages we support.

Comment 1

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Pulled from the feedback page, a good comment from Pawell:

The Extension part of the link is usually translated. So, there is no way how to do this automatically. I would go with 'http://developer.mozilla.org' . _('sidebar_navlink_build_your_own_href') The same issue is with http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Creating_OpenSearch_plugins_for_Firefox at search engines page. --Pawell 21 January 2007

I fixed this in SVN r2332. I added the links to the l10n file as suggested by Pawell (localizing the path, keeping the base URL hardcoded).

I also localized all URLs that I could find to be present on MDC.

The two msg ids are
"sidebar_navlink_build_your_own_href"
and
"addons_searchengines_makeyourown_href"

respectively.
