I agree that any magic based on the AcceptLanguage browser setting or alike is evil. While my browser says that I prefer german, I mostly visit en.opensuse.org because it is the most complete wiki.
I visit that as well. As long as you visit en.opensuse.org, there should be no change.
On the other hand, I prefer to type "opensuse.org/somepage" instead of "en.opensuse.org/somepage" in my browser (hey, I can save 3 keystrokes this way ;-)
What about the following idea for www.opensuse.org: - do not do any automatic language redirect
I still would prefer it, however it has been decided not to do it.
- except: if the user has actively chosen it - this means to have a "choose prefered language" page that sets a cookie _on user request_. (This cookie should only cause a redirect on www.opensuse.org, not on $lang.opensuse.org, of course.)
I would indeed also like something like this. It must however be obvious for the user that he can easily change this setting. Preference on his user settings page perhaps? I would like another preference there as well and that is auto login on visit. Half the time I can't be botherd to change something in the wiki, because I must go through the login process. -- But I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org
