I'm still redirected to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ when I go to  razem.mozilla.org. Could you take another look at the redirect, please?

Thanks!

It's fully working now.

Could we improve the setup to actually keep the razem.mozilla.org URL instead of plain redirect to mozillaservice.org?

It doesn't look good when we have such a perfect URL that does not stay there for people to copy&paste for tweeting/blogging or to bookmark.

I'll let IT answer about getting rid of the redirect...

In terms of links in the page, all the links will be mozillaservice.org, we don't have an easy way to support multiple domain names.

Sure, I don't have any problem with links inside a page. I understand that (yet, it would be nice to support multiple domains in such campaigns in the future ;)).

But when I open razem.mozilla.org, before I click anywhere, it would be awesome to see the url there :)

Wouldn't changing links from <a href="http://mozillaservice.org/learn_more/index/it_IT"> to <a href="/learn_more/index/it_IT"> solve this?

We do that for many of the links... but some cannot be relative. Anything having to do with authentication has to go through https://mozillaservice.org so this is an example where we generate the full link.

ping? :)

Comment 11

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

Isn't it bad practice to host the site @ multiple locations instead of redirecting all vanity domains to mozillaservice.org? As far as I know, this will throw off search engines and be confusing for users in general.

Comment 12

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

Yeah, I think 301 is the standard.  Just showing content instead of redirecting will add more junk to sift through on search engines and will probably hurt your SEO.

Comment 13

[matthew zeier [:mrz]]

So this is a WONTFIX now?

Comment 14

[Marek Stępień [:marcoos, inactive]]

It's definitely not WONTFIX -- the most recent comments are about an enhancement to what this bug is really about (a 301 redirect from razem.mozilla.org to mozillaservice.org).

If we can't implement gandalf's proposal (and I agree with Jeremy and Wil, that it's not optimal), this should be marked fixed, since the http://razem.mozilla.org/ URL now works.

Comment 15

[Austin King [:ozten]]

Marking fixed.

We should open a new bug or start a discussion in another forum, if we need to continue the discussion on improving the way we host localized domains.

Comment 16

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

razem.mozilla.org works but it opens either German localization (when using English Minefield) or English (when using polish Firefox).

Can we hardcode that razem.mozilla.org redirects to Polish version?

I'll let IT answer if this is technically possible.
FYI the language code is pl_PL
so http://razem.mozilla.org/home/index would redirect to
http://razem.mozilla.org/home/index/pl_PL.

I don't think this is the right place to fix it however...

Can you please add details to Bug#514228 - pl_PL is not detected, instead it's detected as de or en

If we fix 514228 then IT doesn't have to do anything...
