Description Eduard Selma 2012-08-26 20:45:56 CEST

I wanted to open your main website, typing "http://www.mageia.org". As my system is localised in Catalan, I ws redirected to ""http://www.mageia.org/ca/". All right, Mageia cares of localisation. But this page is... empty or even there is not such directory!

The message (typical 404) says:
"Not Found. The requested URL /ca/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.14 (Mandriva Linux/PREFORK-1.6mdv2010.0) 
Server at www.mageia.org Port 80"

I was a former user (from '96) and translator to Catalan at Mandriva, until 2007. I know that as today, Mageia has not much care of Catalan. But, please, let the catalan users reach your webpages in English or French, instead. This automatic redirect brings us to nowhere. 

I could eventually fill this through a live CD in English.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, this is a mixed bug.

Short story: we don't have Catalan translators for www.m.o yet (but we welcome them for sure!).

We used to register Catalan as a working language for the locale redirector, but the content tree was not translated, and then removed by mistake.

Fixed (currently, links to English contents; or would you prefer French as a default here?), and waiting for translators here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Internationalisation_Team_(i18n)#Website_translation ;)

Merci, Romain.

The bug i solved, for me too. English is fine as a default. The problem was when you could not get any content. 

Unfortunately, I can not help with the translation, as did before. Firstly,  my agenda is too busy; but also because should be difficult to translate an OS you are not actually using. Now I am a Debian user, but the memory of my past Mandrake/Mandriva days bit my curiosity to know how feels Mageia now. Despite I could finally install a mix of Catalan (KDE) English and Spanish localized apps, it looks very fine, with some points to be polished. With the efforts of the Community, Mageia 3 could be a reference in RPM Linuxland, as Mandrake was. My best wishes for this.
