Re: my.php.net RFC

Please use reply all, so others can also reply to your opinion...

Have you considered using the "Accept-Language" header sent by the browser to set the "easy" shortcut? This way a user can go to any php mirror including the main site and will get the correct shortcut. If he is not sending the header than it will show him the default shortcut of that particular mirror.

Well, this is one thing I have left out. It definitely should be considered. If the user has no [PL].

I believe the user goes to the mirror site in his country for faster speeds rather than an "easy" shortcut to the manual. In fact most users would not even know that there would be an easy shortcut to his language in the local mirror.

Well, all the pages where manuals are listed, the local manuals are highlighted.

Also, I noticed that the language name on the manual page is in english. Should we consider writing the same in that individual language itself. I think there may be ppl out there who wouldn't know their language name in english. But everyone would know the language name in their language (obviously!)

That is another part of the site translation system, which I think is to be discussed later. Currently only the manuals are translated, and having separate small translations for other things (like manual language names, release announcements) is simply not the way to go IMHO. Goba
