The .htaccess file at the root of help.ubuntu.com makes no sense.
At the minimum, it is severely outdated and at the maximum it shouldn't be needed at all.

Typically, these days, options are set in the server configurations and not via .htaccess and the rest of the stuff in that file simply is not needed.

On my server, where I keep a test mirror copy of help.ubuntu.com, the .htaccess file has to be deleted otherwise my server complains of configuration errors and will not deliver any content at all. Once I delete the file everything works properly for all languages I have tried, including fallthrough to another language is the one asked for doesn't exist.

It is interesting to note that the language stuff doesn't seems to be case sensitive because we use zh-CN and firefox uses zh-cn, for example.
