Bug 1045184

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #998327 +++

Describe the issue:
If I put Romanian ([ro-RO] and/or [ro]) at the top of preferred
languages in firefox-23.0-1.fc19.x86_64, the web page doesn't work. The
page is loaded then the browser seems to be redirected to the same page
over and over.

Suggestions for improvement: 

Additional information:
Visiting http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/index.html directly works
fine.
Visiting http://docs.fedoraproject.org/xx-XX/index.html (literaly)
starts a loop.

I don't necessarily want the website translated into Romanian, I just
want it to work even if it's in English.

I've confirmed the symptoms can be recreated by invoking `LANG=ro_RO firefox` under a clean user account.

Some additional information: the / page has "ro" in the list of
(supported) locales[1] even if the possible URLs for the Romanian
language[2][3] don't work.

I also looked at the git repository for the website and I noticed that
there's no `index.html` under the ro subdirectory[4] like for other
languages, e.g. de-DE[5] and fr-FR[6].  By the way, while looking at the
rest of the languages I noticed that the index file is missing from
ia[7] too, so I tested with Interlingua and the looping issue occurred
again.

I'm not able to reproduce the website not redirecting you to en-US language pages.  In fact, that's all I can get it to do.  Looking at the source I can confirm that *some* of the files are translated into Romanian for the website but, like you found, there is no index.html for the language.  

I'll continue to troubleshoot this and see what I can do.  I'd like to see the site available in Romanian (especially if the source is already translated).  

Sorry for the delay on this ticket.

Thanks for the heads-up Sparks -- I'll see if I can get to the bottom of this...

I've done a little poking on this, republishing docsite-publican.  I found that publishing an ro-RO translation results in "ro" in the "locales" variable that gets iterated over for the redirect. For now, I'm manually changing web.git/public_html/index.html to "ro-RO", which redirects to the ro-RO content that seems to be in the correct path.

Right now I'm being redirected to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/ro-RO/index.html and I see some English documentation in the right frame/panel, but the left side seems to be stuck in an infinite loop.

The left pane is redirected based via cookie; can you clear cookies for the site and test?
