Description of problem:

Hi,

Every time I access the Fedora Project website (http://fedoraproject.org/), I am greeted with the pt_BR version of it. In my Firefox I've got defined the languages "pt, en". So, I'm thinking that if the site ignores my language
preferences, I should have received the English version, if not, and the
pt is not an option, I should receive the English version as well, and
not the Brazilian.


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

All releases so far.


How reproducible:

Access the website with a Language preference different from English.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open browser.
2. Define a language different from English.
3. Access the website fedoraproject.org
  
Actual results:

I got the pt_BR version of the site


Expected results:

The pt_PT page version of the site


Additional info:


Thanks for your time.

Or default to en_EN if no pt_PT is available. IMHO, may include a link to pt_BR.

Comment 2 Miloš Komarčević 2010-05-04 20:43:56 UTC
Well, I actually think it is doing the correct thing, as specified by http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4647

You asked for "pt" (country unspecified), you get the closest available match.

Comment 3 Rui Gouveia 2010-05-05 00:06:51 UTC
Hi Miloš,

Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't have a "pt-PT" version of this string. The available options are "pt" for Portuguese and "pt-br" for Brasilean. So I couldn't test your theory. But I tested it with the German language.

I've tried both: "de" and "de_CH". When I choose "de" as preferred language in Firefox, I get the "de" page. When I choose "de_CH" I get the "de_CH" page.

So, why doesn't this works exactly like this for "pt"?

Besides, when the country is not specified shouldn't the Portuguese from Portugal be served, provided a translation exists?


Thanks

Rui Gouveia

I think this is clearly the Infrastructure issue, would you mind filing a ticket at their Trac instance?

Humm...
How do I do that?
I looked around and couldn't find a way of submitting a ticket.

Comment 7 Piotr Drąg 2010-05-05 16:55:07 UTC
You need to log in with your FAS user name and password first (it's just under search box). Then click on the 'New Ticket' tab which will appear.

Silly me. I was using a different login. :(
Thanks.

Comment 9 Miloš Komarčević 2010-05-06 10:16:39 UTC
Rui, I misunderstood, I wasn't clear from your initial report the "pt" translation existed. I agree it should be matched if it exists.
