Translating Fedora docs URLs

[Rafael Fontenelle]

Hi all,

Fedora docs' source strings have URLs to doc pages in /en-US/
language. For me it is surely better to change it to my language, but
such translated versions haven't been published yet. I could use
change e.g. /en-US/ to /pt-BR/, but I wouldn't be able to test it.
Right now, trying to access the translated version gives me a 404 Not
Found page.

Example URLs:
- Good: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/council/policies
- 404: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/pt-BR/council/policies
- 404: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/council/policies

Is there a general URL format that deals with language content,
allowing me to not specify the language in the doc page URL?

Best regards,
Rafael Fontenelle

It looks like pt_BR is what you want, not pt-BR.

But pt_BR is almost entirely untranslated for the Council docs:

I'm not sure why the language drop down only lists en-US by default
(although you can see other languages in the drop-down when you
specify any other language by editing the URL). I've opened a ticket
with the docs team to look at that:

https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/issue/139

language drop down only displays in localized version to allow testing.

as it worked fine for a gew days now, Adam and I say it's ready for production. we just need a communication blog post, then it will be open to everybody:)
i am on it  it will come soon
