In FF 66, it looks like the Help button for the new Language settings dialog points to the same doc as the Webpage language settings Help button does, both resulting in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/choose-display-languages-multilingual-web-pages.
The problem may be here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/preferences/browserLanguages.xul#20
See bug 1485779 for the proper link.

It take that value should be 'use-firefox-another-language' (I haven't tried), and it might be a good-first-bug.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Bad UI that should be easy to fix in time for 67.
This has been broken since the original implementation in bug 1469688.

This doesn't work, we need a public redirect URL for this page that we can plug into the language-specific SUMO URLs we generate from app.support.baseURL (ie https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/%VERSION%/%OS%/%LOCALE%/ + "suffix" ) which normally entails asking someone from SUMO.
Mark, is there an existing redirect slug in place for the use-firefox-another-language page that you're aware of? If not, we should ping Joni.

Joni, can you generate a slug for the https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/use-firefox-another-language page or let me know what was already generated? I don't see one in bug 1485779 where we were tracking this SUMO page.
Looks like we were going to use the same page for both, but they're on different pages. Once we have the slug we can link to this one directly.
Sure, Mark. There wasn't an in-product slug yet so here's a new slug you can use: https://support.mozilla.org/1/firefox/%VERSION%/%OS%/%LOCALE%/change-language
