Obviously this would not always point to exactly the right page but it could at least redirect to the front-page/home-page of the 'local' teams website. Alternatively it would be nice if all pages had flags or something at the top so that people could click on them to be redirected to a website in the right language.<br><br>For example for the page<br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto</a></span><br>There could be a <br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fr/BurningIsoHowto">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fr/BurningIsoHowto</a></span><br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ru/BurningIsoHowto">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ru/BurningIsoHowto</a></span><br>That would ideally go to the French or Russian documentation websites and add the search parameter "BurningIsoHowto". While that would be the general-case there might be some possibility of having certain pages go directly to the relevant page in that local team's documentation<br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org//tutoriel/graver_cd_ubuntu_depuis_windows?redirect=3">http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org//tutoriel/graver_cd_ubuntu_depuis_windows?redirect=3</a></span><br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iso-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%8C">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/iso-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%8C</a></span><br><br>For 'local' languages that don't have their own website it might be possible for them to have "home pages" such as <br><span><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fr">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/fr</a></span><br><br>When i used to answer a lot of questions in Launchpad answers i would often see questions in non-'english' go unanswered until after i contacted the translators team and specifically ask them to help direct the person to the correct local language answers team. The translators team were superb and often seemed to just answer the question and deal with follow-up. <br><br>While Machine Translators such as "IM Translate" might make just about enough sense into an Answerers language they tend to be completely hopeless at translating to a language the Answerer doesn't grok. <br><br>It would be nice to be able to signpost people quickly and easily to somewhere more useful without having to call in people from other teams potentially causing them distress.<br><br>Regards from<br>Tom :)<br></div></div></div> </div></body></html>
