> Ok, as it turns out in the loop the language gets matched correctly, the browser is then the user is redirected to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/zh-TW/index.html which as I said before doesn't currently exist. This is handled by redirecting the browser to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/, which then triggers the locale selection logic which redirects you to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/zh-TW/index.htmlleaving the browser in a loop it can never escape. Seems like getting that translated welcome page out of transifex and into the website is all that is required.
