[Bug 1574638] Re: Translated home page leads to non-translated sub-pages

[Timo Jyrinki]

Thanks for looking into it. De-duplicating and describing the actual bug
which seems to be 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade issue in Firefox.

** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 1532537
   Impossible to choose language on help.ubuntu.com

** Summary changed:

- Translated home page leads to non-translated sub-pages
+ Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS

** Summary changed:

- Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS
+ Firefox has non-functional preferred language after upgrade

** Description changed:

- All links at eg https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/index.html.fi
- point unfortunately to English versions of the pages, like
- https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html
+ It would seem something caused an incorrect language setting in Firefox,
+ potentially due to 14.04 LTS -> 16.04 LTS upgrade.
+ 
+ I noticed I'm getting redirected to English pages on help.ubuntu.com,
+ even though that hasn't happened before like eg within the last month.
+ 
+ When looking at it more in Firefox settings -> Content -> Languages, I
+ noticed the top-most item was "empty" (no language name) with [fi-fi] in
+ brackets. Beneath it was suomi [fi] and english options. When I removed
+ the "empty" language from the list, help.ubuntu.com started behaving
+ correctly again.
+ 
+ At this point I don't have better information but leaving the bug open
+ to be documented.
+ 
+

  The correct links would have the ".fi" added to the URL, like
  https://help.ubuntu.com/16.04/ubuntu-help/unity-introduction.html.fi

** Package changed: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) => firefox (Ubuntu)
