Just English
First, let me start by congratulating you and thanking you for all the
work that has gone into the Debian project. Your project does give some
hope that the future of IT is not as bleak as the currently
Bill-Gates-dominated world might lead us to fear.
This e-mail just to point out what is, perhaps, not really a problem,
but I would like to call your attention to a troublesome aspect of your
website.
I live & work in Brussels, Belgium. To access your site I use the
following url: http://www.uk.debian.org/, which opens the home page in
English. But when I click on a link, the link always opens in French.
I assume this is because the machine I use to access your site is
located in a French-speaking country (actually only partly because in
Belgium there are three official languages). Although I'm fluent in
French, my native tongue is English and what I know of computer-speak is
mainly in the English language.
It is a bit frustrating to have to navigate down to the bottom of every
page I access to get back to English.
Perhaps, is some future maintenance cycle of your site you could modify
your site so as to allow for the user to choose only once the language
he/she would like to use.
Best regards,
Richard Leonard
