Description of problem: When loading the Mageia's main site my language is detected as fr and the localised version of the site is presented. On the main page's navigation bar, the "Forum" link points at http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/ which redirect to http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/. But if you click on "Contribuer" (French for "contribute") and then on any link that points toward the forum you're send on "forum.mageia.org". Why that's bugging me: Two apparently similar links are actually different. Also, as far I understand the Mageia's ecosystem,forum at mageia.org haven't the same purpose (support in English, international community and discussion on contributing) than mageialinux-online forum (support in French language). I would have expected to find a link to the later only on the "Assistance" page. Of course I may misunderstand the link between mageia.org and mageialinux-online.fr, please educate me ! How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Load http://mageia.org/fr/ 2. Click on the "Forum" link on the upper navigation bar 3. Get redirecto to http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum
First about the forum ecosystem: Mageia lets local communities decide whether they want to establish a localized forum inside the forums.mageia.org system (such as the Germans did) or have their (possibly already existing) forum on their own server. That's what MLO did. So, the main nav bar leads you to MLO if your browser is redirected to the French Mageia pages. This redirection is not possible inside the text of the pages, so this is the task of the translators of the page - meaning, this is a bug in the french web translation. It may also be that this link is inside a variable field of a web page, which will net be translated. Then you will be sent to the international forum. I don't know if it is possible to change that. If you are sent to the international forum you can go to the section "Communities" and click on the MLO link. Plans are to have a header on the forum site which displays links to all local forums.

Then, should I open a bug somewhere else, or is it possible to move this report to the correct category ? So the support page's link will be eventually corrected. > If you are sent to the international forum you can go to the section > "Communities" and click on the MLO link.

Actually I was looking for pointer onto how to get onboard the Mageia contributing train and expected to find myself on the international forum. Cheers ! Thomas

I can't reproduce. The link always shows to https://forums.mageia.org/fr/ which is redirected to MLO.

Just reproduced it. If I go to http://www.mageia.org/ with my browser I'm redirected to http://www.mageia.org/fr. Now, if I click on the forum link in the top navbar I arrive on MLO through a redirection via http://www.mageia.org/forum/fr/ But, if I go to "Contribuer" then click on the first link to the forum (in the text : "Aide aux utilisateurs et support du projet", "Sur les canaux IRC, les forums,..." << link here) I'm send to http://www.mageia.org/forum/en via http://www.mageia.org/forum/
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about the link in the banner... I fixed it in svn, Romain, Dams, could you push it?
Pushed. Does that fix the whole issue?

Their is a link at the bottom of the page that wasn't fixed. It's in paragraph "Quelques minutes".
Just updated.
Could you check the situation (www.m.o got some updates) and report existing issues or close this bug please? Thanks!
In http://www.mageia.org/fr/community/ : If I click on "Forum" in the "Boîte à outils", I end up in the *English* forum. The link is to https://forums.mageia.org (so without "/en/") But if I go to the bottom of the page, to "Planet | Blog | Forum", and choose "Forum" there, I end up where I should go, in the *French* forum The link is to https://forums.mageia.org/fr/ The "forum" link in "Conversations" works the same, It links to https://forums.mageia.org/fr/ and you end up in http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/
Fixed.
