screen-shot: Missing Spanish documentation (19.39 KB, image/png)

no flags Details

Description Yuko Katabami 2015-10-11 21:41:29 UTC
Description of problem:
Although documentation are only translated into Japanese and Simplified Chinese, titles are translated in other languages (i.e. French, German, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean).

Showing translated titles would be misleading for the users as they expect those books translated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all


How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the landing page
2. Select a locale other than English
3. Check the titles of books

Actual results:
Locales that do not have translated available have translated titles of books listed

Expected results:
They should appear in English

Comment 1 Yuko Katabami 2015-10-11 21:50:51 UTC
This was discussed a few years ago and at the time we agreed to keep it as-is, because the untranslated titles are linked to English documents (and assumed that users will find out that translation is not available), however, some translators pointed out during the QA event that they should be left in English if translation is not available, so that users do not expect to find them in the first place.

For reference, the Customer Portal product documentation site lists a translated title only if the book is translated, and the same rule should apply here as well.

screen-shot: Missing Spanish documentation

Comment 4 Einav Cohen 2015-10-14 06:40:19 UTC
the text in the welcome page is displayed based on the selected locale. that includes the titles of the documentation files. 

if a documentation file in a certain locale doesn't exist and the English documentation is displayed instead, the user receives a message about it once he clicks on the documentation link (see attachment 1082706 [details] for the displayed message for missing Spanish docs, for example). 

I understand the confusion, however I think that the current state is perfectly acceptable and making the the proposed change will be too much effort for very little gain. closing.

No problems, Einav.
Thank you for explaining it again.
