987059 - set redirect from /ja/about to htp://www.mozilla.jp/about/mozilla

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(www.mozilla.org :: L10N, defect)

Description

[N. Shimizu]

I added a redirection rule to ja/.htaccess as http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/ja/.htaccess?revision=125488&view=markup .
It is assumed to redirect the access to /ja/about to http://www.mozilla.jp/about/mozilla, but it does not work.

I suppose that that commitment is not alive.
Would you make it alive or give me pointer / information which I can do.

Pascal, could you check about this or add someone who can help about this?

Chris, can someone in your team check and help to solve this bug?

Background about this bug:
about:home of Firefox have a link to /about/ page in the top-right corner:
https://www.mozilla.org/about/?utm_source=about-home&utm_medium=Referral

This will not redirect to mozilla.jp and Japanese Firefox users will see English only page.
This link in the about:home page is very easy to notice and we (Mozilla Japan) want redirect users to Japanese page.

Thanks

The right fix seems to me to translate the page on mozilla.org like all other locales.

Some contents can be covered on mozilla.org but in our case, we have some additional pages including "about Mozilla Japan", "Press Room" etc.

In the future if we can add page and customize contents more, we may move to mozilla.org. But it takes time. We need redirect so far.

It is already possible on mozilla.org to have specific per locale content through various tools such as conditionals based on locale code, html sub-templates, l10n blocks. We can also have pages that would exist only in Japanese if you have people to maintain them on mozilla.org.

Note that some pages cannot be on another domain than mozilla.org, the Firefox Australis tour for example will only work with a mozilla.org url as it is an in-product page.

Thank you for the information. We never know such functionality of bedrock.
We will migrate our contents in mozilla.jp with the tools which you mentioned.
But for now, would you please make mozilla.com/ja/.htaccess active?

We will migrate just our Firefox desktop web site into mozilla.org when Australis launches.
At that time, many contents remains in mozilla.jp.
For Japanese people's convenience, we should set navigation to the contents in mozilla.jp from 
Firefox desktop web site on mozilla.org.

Thank you!
I will add another comment after finishing the test of all my modification.

By the way, could you tell me how to enable ja/.htaccess with bedrock. 
I am struggling to build local environment for development and testing, 
especially for testing the redirection settings.

Maybe the docs can help you ? https://bedrock.readthedocs.org/en/latest/php.html
I only run the newer python site locally, not the legacy php one. Otherwise, you could connect to the #www IRC channel and ask for help to mozilla.org webdevs there.

The pull request I attached and http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/ja/.htaccess?revision=128274&view=markup will enable us to redirect accesses of /ja/about/ to http://mozilla.jp/about/mozilla/

> RewriteRule ^(index.html)?$ http://www.mozilla.jp/
> RewriteRule ^about(/?|/index.html?)$ http://www.mozilla.jp/about/mozilla/

Both needs the [L,R] flag.
