Bug#703619: www.debian.org: language-related problem with http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference pages

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.net>]

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

The page

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.html

is in English, but if I follow the "Table of Contents" links, I get
pages in French[*]. There is no way to stay on the English pages.
IMHO, all link URL's should contain language information, e.g. the

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/scope.html

URL in the link should be replaced by

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/scope.en.html

and each page should allow one to switch the language, via HTML
contents (as this can already be done on the index page) and/or
via <link rel="alternate" .../>.

Another related problem is that explicit French pages like

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/scope.fr.html

contains a link "Sommaire" to

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.html

which is in English. Ditto, the URL should be:

  http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/index.fr.html

[*] probably because my web browser is configured to ask French by
default, but this is a general choice, and web pages should have a
way to choose other available languages.
