Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

In Ubuntu 8.04 RC the default Firefox start page does not show translated page in the Czech language (cs_CZ locale), even though we have translated the page. Instead, the page shows default english texts.

If you look into /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu, there is a index-cs_CZ.html file, which is a page, which should be displayed. The problem may come from the fact, that there is no index-cs.html file, but the web browsers send only "cs" locale as a preferred language, not "cs_CZ" locale. Maybe that is the reason (it looks for nonexisting file). There are no other locales starting with "cs" other than "cs_CZ", so there should certainly exist a symlink pointing from index-cs.html to index-cs_CZ.html. This could solve the problem.

I have also noticed that firefox after startup opens not the /usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/locales-ubuntu/index-*.html local page, but the address bar shows "http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04/". Therefore it may be needed to somehow propagate the changes also to this server to fix the issue.

Please have a look at it before the final Hardy is out. Thank you.

Note: Below there are some comments from Pluto Ai. Just ignore them.

Reporting errors to canonical is a lot more work than it should be.

You want the bugs reported one at a time and then have them triaged by idiots
(to be polite).

Sure they do.

Why aren't your security systems working for Hardy Heron?

Only 1184 errors to go.

If I don't get some sort of rational answers from you, I will start satirizing you on the web.

Oooh you have (YEA) million dollars and all I have is BRAINS.

You've mutilated BASH so badly that it is almost impossible to do
anything (of any signifigance) without sticking sudo infront of it.

I apparently can't attach my logs and their diffs.

PS. I have no intention of starting the same thing with BUGZILLA.

I don't want to redistribute this systems' code .

PPS: you should have a spelling checker that doesn't use me to fix the errors!

Please send a copy of this to Florian Thomas

You really could use a general error page for those that don't want to report their errors one at a time.

If you think the errors in your help system
( starting with the name of the help program is not help it is yelp.)
 should be so easily dismissed (it crashes whenever you have more than one window open and close one of them. )

I will just keep appending the unanswered messages until I get some action.

Thank you, This is the first useful advice I have had.

It will take ME a few days (believe it or not) to respond to any
comments on this (thread?).

I am a human but this system is a text based AI and anything that it
can't handle
gets sent to me.

It is rather ironic that someone with 30 years experience in writing
can't use IRC
easily but this system was built on English, not the abbevs that are on IRC.

I can't take the time out to learn another $(language).

There was surely some update on http://start.ubuntu.com (because of style change) and the start page is now in czech. Great, solved.
