Description

[Stephen Donner [:stephend] Not actively reading bugmail]

STR:

1. Load http://support-stage.mozilla.org/tiki-newsearch.php?locale=en-US&q=firefox+hangs&sa=
2. Look at the |lang| parameter of the search-results' URLs

Expected:

http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs

Actual:

Result URls are like http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en/kb/Firefox+hangs; that 302s (redirects) to the en-US one: http://support-stage.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox+hangs

Attachment: Screenshot -- wonder if it comes from the following?

Note |en|, here, rather than |en-US| -- wonder if this is the source of the issue?

It probably is. Which brings up a good point: We have no plans to add en-GB, so would it be better if we used |en| in the URLs? (Like what we're doing with es.)
