Description

Seems like the language redirect does not work at help.libreoffice.org - when I go eg. to https://help.libreoffice.org/index.php?title=Common/Font_1&Language=cs&System=UNIX&Version=5.3#bm_id3149796 , I still have to use the language selector at the top to have it in Czech.

Looks rather concerning from the l10n point of view...

Just to clarify, the page is supposed to appear in Czech directly (it has Language=cs in the URL), but it appears in English.

The “WikihelpRedirect” extension was in fact broken since the HelpWiki was migrated away from kermit and upgraded to 1.28, as Andras Timar reported during LibOCon.

Considering that 1/ no one reported the problem in 8+ months; 2/ the extension wasn't developed by infra; 3/ Olivier's work on helponline will make helpwiki obsolete after 6.0; and 4/ PHP/MediaWiki hacking isn't my area of expertise; fixing this wasn't very high on my list :-P However I just noticed our custom extension was based on the “Polyglot” extension, and based on the latter's history I was able to fix the redirects — I think.
