hub.libreoffice.org/foo/<lang>is not what would be used from within LO - rather LO should pass parameters like the send-feedback one would do (something likeLOversion=5.1.1.3&LOlocale=es&LOmodule=DrawingDocument) - so URLs should just be hub.libreoffice.org/something- having it "ask", but directing to something else for fr already, and only having ask available already shows it is a badly chosen generic URL (see also my comment on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/27028/ - that menu item should not have askbot in mind, for that too few languages make use of it, rather it should be some more generic term)
- for a site like ask, having dedicated redirects for languages is unnecessary, as those pick languages by the browser preferences
Intended use of hub.libreoffice.org/somemoregenericterm would be to redirect to ask.libreoffice directly for the languages where it exists, and point to language-specifc alternatice resources (i.e. the french forum) or a page like http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/community-support/ (except that it would point to the various resources in the different languages) for those languages that don't have a preferred system for user questions (but rather use mailinglist, social-media or other stuff)
So feedback/waiting state until the more generic term is agreed upon.../the fate of the pull request is clear.

Please provide the right URL/name of param to put in C++ and the UI string to replace "Questions & Anwsers...". I'll be glad to amend the patch.

Added request for additional info to make it a valid EasyHack (jani)Updated by Olivier Hallot over 7 years ago
Since no response.
I'm willing to put this call to hub.
-----8<-----------
sal_Int32 ix = utl::ConfigManager::getLocale().indexOf("-",0);
OUString aLang;
if (ix == -1)
aLang = utl::ConfigManager::getLocale();
else
aLang = utl::ConfigManager::getLocale().copy(0,ix);
OUString sURL("http://hub.libreoffice.org/forum/?&LOlang=" + aLang);-----8<-----------
On the language of ask, my take is that what counts is the locale of LO UI and not the locale of the browser. You may be using a english UI in a non english computer.

I think the main scope of this ticket has been handled, so it can be closed - Olivier, any objections? (The patch is a different topic IMHO)
Updated by Olivier Hallot over 7 years ago
The patch has not been merged to master, awaiting approval.
My local copy does not send user to askbot, but to main website.

Is that really the same? This one is about hub, the other about ask directly. Can you clarify?

Should we close this now that #1983 has been resolved?
