es-AR and es-ES translations of every Mozilla products don't differ a lot.
To avoid duplicating efforts and having better documentation, we think that we should have only one translation of SUMO.


Reproducible: Always

The suggested approach:

1. Remove es-AR locale
2. Rename es-ES locale to es
3. Create redirect rules (.htaccess) for pointing es-AR and es-ES urls to es

Comment 2

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

Content-wise that method shouldn't cause any problem.

Looking at <http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-listpages.php?lang=es-AR&maxRecords=20>, only edit was ever made to an es-AR article, and that was by deimidis, who is CCed on this bug.

any progress here?

greetings, Guillermo

Comment 4

[David Tenser [:djst]]

Nelson, how much work is it to do this? Could you help out, or is this something an administrator can easily do (meaning e.g. me or Chris)?

Comment 5

[David Tenser [:djst]]

In the meantime, maybe you could keep working on the es-ES locale together and just abandon the es-AR locale? When we're ready, we'll just rename es-ES -> es

Comment 6

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

We need to do this in 3 steps. First to create the es locale, and then to port all es-ES documents to es, before redirecting/renaming/removing any locales.

The porting can be manual (remember to approve the article after changing the language!), but let me know if I should submit an IT bug to do a SQL, or code in an admin-usable mass language change functionality (which could be kind of dangerous if accidentally used wrongly).

First step: Creation of es committed in r12146. 

Will require after push setting of allowed langs in tiki-admin.php?locale=en-US&page=i18n

and import of new es language file in tiki-imexport_languages.php

Comment 7

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

es locale is created

Now: port es-ES articles s have to be ported to es, i.e. just change the language, but remember to approve the articles after changing the language.

Comment 8

[Guillermo López :willyaranda (probably SLOW response)]

Done, all articles moved (despite 2 that are incorrect).

So you can delete es-ES translate

Comment 9

[David Tenser [:djst]]

The two incorrect articles are now removed. The only thing left before we can close this bug is to remove the es-ES locale. Nelson, can you do that (or instruct me how to do it)?

Comment 10

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

The steps are:

1) remove the lang from Restrict Supported Languages in https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-admin.php?page=i18n

2) modify lang/langmapping.php to not have the lang you want to remove

3) remove lang/{lang}

Comment 11

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

Strange behavior on support-stage:

the language "es" is not available under http://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-admin.php?page=i18n even though it is available in production https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-admin.php?page=i18n

Same problem with "no" lang. I can't reproduce this on my server. Tried clearing cache - no effect.

Comment 12

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

problem in comment #11 is likely to be due to directory/file permissions on the "lang/no" and "lang/es" folders. (bug 430504 created to check this out)

Comment 13

[David Tenser [:djst]]

What's left to do here?

Comment 14

[Nelson Ko [:nkoth]]

removal of locales done in r13275

Attachment: This version also takes care of the redirects for Spanish, which were somehow missing.

Loading http://support.mozilla.com/es-AR/kb and http://support.mozilla.com/es-ES/kb/ redirected me to http://support.mozilla.com/es/kb/; tested basic functionality of the site in general, too, such as entering "buscar" as a search term (pun intended!), which works:
