Bug #13614 [Com]: Search can change language

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13614&edit=1 ID: 13614 Comment by: spydmobile at gmail dot com Reported by: freek at macfreek dot nl Summary: Search can change language Status: Closed Type: Bug Package: Website problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: 4.0.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: using the online manual site in english, the search bar changes language to french. example steps to reproduce: sitting on this page: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.cloning.php click in the search box and type file_get_contents hit enter you will now find yourself on this page: http://php.net/manual/fr/function.file-get-contents.php You are now reading french, this happens all the time, and is incredibly frustrating when developing and having to manually edit the URL. IMHO this is abug, the first page you should land at in a search should be the same language you are reading the site in in the first place. If the site is ONLY indexed in english, then why OH WHY does it switch to french on me all the time? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-09 20:22:34] jimw@php.net james is right. we only index the english manual pages. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-27 19:00:43] imajes@php.net This is because all search on www.php.net is in english, and does not search in a native language, if you are in that language. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-09 11:23:28] freek at macfreek dot nl Example should read: "... do a search on ..." (sorry for the typo, I tried to correct it, but accidentally ended up making a duplicate report). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-09 11:18:30] freek at macfreek dot nl When you are on a manual webpage, and perform a search using the form in the header of the page, you will be directed to the page or function in the manual of the default language of the current site. This default language of a site may not be the same as the language the user had chosen earlier. Example: At http://www.php.net/manual/nl/, do a search for php on 'phpinfo' and you will end up at http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php Effectively switching from Dutch (nl) to English (en) Or, at http://nl.php.net/manual/en/, do a search for php on 'phpinfo' and you will end up at http://nl.php.net/manual/nl/function.phpinfo.php Effectively switching from English to Dutch. Possible fix: just add a 'input type=hidden name=lang 'tag with the current language in the CommonHeader. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13614&edit=1
