591828 - "fr-fr,en-us=0.7" should match fr, not en-US

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Scoobidiver (away)]

When you click on "Modules", you are redirected to the english support page for the features add-ons :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured
instead of :
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/?browse=featured

Works for me, it will redirect to the firefox addons home page which does locale detection so if you visited the previous French page with an  English speaking browser you get the en-US version of the addons site, hardcoding urls is not really wanted for AMO since we have less locales supported there than on mozilla-europe.org .

Comment 2

[Scoobidiver (away)]

In Firefox 3.6, it works.
In Firefox 4.0 beta, there is no more localization in the UA string for confidentiality reasons, that is why it does not work.

I use an english Minefied, and mozilla-europe.org is in french except for the Module link
So Module link must be set according to the site language and not to the browser language.

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

We don't use UA but accept-lang headers for locale detection, it works in Trunk builds and we send pages according to the visitors preferences "choose your prefered language for displaying page". If you want pages displayed in French but use an English Minefield, you should put that in your preferences. You should probably use a French minefield though. I am marking that as WFM again since this is the intended behaviour for the general public, I am happy to discuss that with you in our #frenchmoz channel on IRC (irc.mozilla.org) though, my nick is pascalc.

Additional information :
My preferred language in my english Minefield is set to fr-fr.
The automatic language redirection of mozilla-europe.org is done according to the preferred language. This feature is fine

Correction in comment 2 :
replace mozilla-europe.org by mozilla-europe.org/fr

Comment 5

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

if your preferred language is fr-fr and you are redirected to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox version when going to https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox, then it is more likely a bug in the locale detection code on addons.mozilla.org, reopening and moving the bug to that component.

Comment 6

[Scoobidiver (away)]

When going to :
1.  https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox, I am redirected to https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/?browse=featured
2.  https://addons.mozilla.org, I am redirected to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured

"Modules" link in mozilla-org/fr use 2.

Can you paste your request headers (or at least the Accept-Language string)?

Comment 8

[Scoobidiver (away)]

Preferred Language string :
* For FF 3.6 fr:       Français [fr]   or   Français/France [fr-fr]
* For FF 4.0b4 en-US : French/France [fr-fr]

Summary of comment 2 and comment 6 about https://addons.mozilla.org redirection :
* OK with FF 3.6 fr
* NOK with FF 4.0b4 en-US

/me nods -- yup, that's the same bug in two different apps.
