Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Hi there, 

The l10n of firefoxflicks seems broken.
While browsing firefoxflicks.m.o by firefox(language:zh-TW), I was taken to https://firefoxflicks.mozilla.org/en-US/.

Also I browse with hardcode https://firefoxflicks.mozilla.org/zh-TW/, and was taken to https://firefoxflicks.mozilla.org/en-US/zh-TW/, which is a not found page of course.

We are promoting firefoxflicks activity here in Taiwan, and it'd be helpful to have l10n page for those who are not English user.

Thanks.

Hi! 

I have the same issues with the German locale. I already told dev via IRC (Craig). This is happening because some localisations weren't ready and pulled-out entirely for some days. In the meantime there is only en-US. If you've visited the site before the cookie will try to send you to your locale but as it's not excisting you'll get the 404. Not so nice, I know.

There's a holiday in the U.S. today, so they will take care of this on Tuesday I suppose.

Also in Japanese.

Hey guys,

We needed to turn off all languages off of the development website shortly, because of the new copy coming in. Anywho, we'll be enabling locales as soon as possible, which will be a day or so.

Let's keep this bug open until we actually resolve the problem.

This isn't affecting dev. For example, ja is working fine on dev: https://firefoxflicks-dev.allizom.org/ja/

This bug only concerns the prod site, which will be getting locales back soon. There is also the issue of valid locales throwing 404 errors in production, which is also being worked on.

The 404 part of this should be fixed for now; any locale-like URL should redirect to the homepage instead of 404ing. The correct fix of adding back locales will be happening over the next couple of days.

To verify:

- Visit https://firefoxflicks.mozilla.org/zh-TW/ or any other non-en-US locale.
- Verify that you are redirected to https://firefoxflicks.mozilla.org/en-US/ and do not see a 404 Page Not Found error.

Verified no 404 page, all locales redirect to /en-US on staging.
