Bug #66864 [Opn->Nab]: JS-based language selection prevents language selection

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66864&edit=1 ID: 66864 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported by: phpmpan at mpan dot pl Summary: JS-based language selection prevents language selection -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thats because that translation is no longer marked as active, so we don't want you to be browsing it (e.g. maybe the docs recommend by-now known to be unsecure way of doing things or otherwise buggy). There should be no links from php.net to those translations, but there may be some around the web. These pages are only meant for archival and historic reference.

It is required first to switch to some other language and only then it is possible to set english. Tested on: Fx-27.0.1 on Arch64, but it doesn't seems to be related to browser or platform. Note: actually after disabling JS it is not possible to change language at all. But I think a separate bug report should be filled for that after this one is resolved. Test script: --------------- 1. Enter some pseudotranslated documentation page. Example: <http://php.net/manual/pl/class.datetime.php> 2. Try to switch to english. Expected result: ---------------- Ability to switch to english without a need to switch to some other language first. Actual result: -------------- One needs to switch to other language before it is possible to switch to english. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66864&edit=1
