For all of our other localized+cached sites we are using the locale as the first parameter in the URL, e.g. www.mozilla.com/fr/... However, /$locale/ already has meaning in Pootle - it displays all the project stats for that locale. Page display locale is currently a user preference (cookie based). We need a cacheable solution (in our case this means unique URLs). I haven't researched how difficult it would be or any alternatives but my first instinct is to alter Pootle to make it behave like all our other sites. Happy to hear ideas.

This patch moves the locale information page from /$locale/ to /lang/$locale/, which opens up /$locale/ to be used for localization. Eventually, the following URL structure could now be used: / - Redirect to /$locale1/ /$locale1/ - Index page, localized for $locale1 /lang/$locale2/ - Redirect to /$locale1/lang/$locale2/ /$locale1/lang/$locale2/ - Language stats for $locale2, localized for $locale1 svn diff makes it look like more was changed in pootle.py than really was; most of that is a single extra indentation on a huge block.

Since Pootle uses /projects/ as its project index and /projects/$projname/ as the $projname home page, I figured since /languages/ was already the language index, /languages/$locale/ would be a better URL choice for the $locale home page. This patch also includes an update to the languages and projects main pages, to make them match the new index.html look; languages.html needed to be modified to point to the new links anyway, so I figured might as well standardize the appearance at the same time.

This adds the locale to localize to as the first folder in the URL. If a locale is specified in the URL, Pootle will use that locale; if none is specified, Pootle will redirect to the /en/ version of the requested entity. Eventually, we can do some locale detections and intelligently redirect to /$locale/. This patch also moves the location of the documentation to match this new system; hence, the contents of Pootle/html/doc/en are now in Pootle/html/en/doc. For brevity, that move is not included in the .patch (since no content is changed).

Update to allow the patch to actually be applied to the latest revision

Comment on attachment 326552 [details] [diff] [review] Changes from /lang/ to /languages reviewed before

Revision 7694 of Mozootle contains both patches. Leaving open until an issue with logins is resolved.

The login issue is in a separate bug now (bug 443295), so I'm marking this specific bug FIXED.
