Bug#912724: www.debian.org: wrong links to translations of "Debian Developer's Reference"
Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal Tags: l10n Dear Maintainer, Debian Developer's Reference on the Debian's website [reference] contains wrong links to translations of the documantation. That is, French translation is linked as index.fr.en.html (where it should be index.fr.html) and so on. The same problem holds for translations, that is French translation [reference-fr] links to Italian as index.it.fr.html (where it should be index.it.html). [reference-en] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.en.html [reference-fr] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.fr.html I guess the problem is with the content negotiation, since there's no such problems both in the source code of the documentation and in the documentation provided in the package developers-reference (and its translations). It may be possible that content negotiation breaks some other links to translated documentation in the same way.

Broken links in developers-reference as published on the Debian's website
Hi Holger,
thanks for your attention to the bug report, but my report was about a
different issue. Let me explain.
First, let's take a look at developers-reference as it pubished on the
Debian's website. Say, in English [web-en]. It incorrectly links to
translations as index.{fr,de,it,ru,jp}.en.html, such files do not exist.
Any other translation, say, French [web-fr] links to translations as
index.{de,it,ru,jp}.fr.html, such files do not exist.
[web-en] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.en.html
[web-fr] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.fr.html
Second, let's take a look at developers-reference package. All links
there are correct, that is in _any_ language links point to
index.{fr,de,it,ru,jp}.html.
Third, let's take a look at developers-reference source code. In English
we currently have as follows:
If you want to print this reference, you should use the pdf version. This page is also
available in French, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese.
Again, links are correct and point to index.{fr,de,it,ru,jp}.html. And
the same holds for any translation.
Broken links are only in developers-reference published on the Debian's
website. Since links in the source code and in the developers-reference
package are correct, then it is the content negotiation problem. Looks
like the webserver incorrectly rewrites links.
Let me stress that my report is _not_ about links to English, or links
in English. It is about _broken_ links in _any_ developers-reference as
published on the Debian's website. So, my bug report is about
www.debian.org, not developers-reference. Please, reconsider it and
reassign #912724 to www.debian.org.
Regards,
Lev
