Hi, I have an idea for the current online help redirection for locales other than the ones in the current help site:https://help.libreoffice.org/Main_Page
The current situation for the users(except the ones in helpwiki) makes no sense, as it redirects directly to English content, and it does not help to you, as you are probably not an English speaking person. I am usimg LibreOffice in Turkish and this page makes no sense for me: https://help.libreoffice.org/swriter/.uno:HelpIndex?Language=tr&System=UNIX&Version=3.6#bm_id3149178 Do you see any usefull information to get help? Or icon recognizing for kids? Makes any sense for you, if you are a non-english spreaker? (Also i dont think this welcome page helps to English speakers too; it will be better that it has only says, welcome to our help content, please use the search bar or here is a simple navigation tree for you--which should be the Component and Component main index in embed help-- What is help?) Most locales have help packages, and lots of users are not aware to get them. Common behaviour is to download only installer, also there are tons of download sites which provide only the multilanguage installer, not the helppack. When you click to LibreOffice Help or F1, a dialog might appear and ask the user to install the help content: ************************************ It seems that you have not installed the LibreOffice Help Pack, you may select ----------- --------------- Install Helppack in your Language Go to online help (redirects to download page) <checkbox> dont ask me again, go directly to online help ************************************** If the locale has not online help, it may show only installing helppack, or ask for redirection to the English content anyway.... *** I respect the %100 completion principle, but as a translator suffered that, i must say, over %50 means a lot... Thousand words, TWOHUNDREDTWENTYTHOUSAND words and may gather important help content which are already translated. Not all the content are critical, some thousand strings are more likely to be useless.... We really worked hard to translate it, it is very difficult some locales may never reach this level. It makes people cry when translating....(I even cried :P) But at least we finished it and reached to %100 The current sitation is not helping to locales which are 50<x<99 percent translated. It is only punishment for them to see that wiki page, and the current work done needs respect as it needs to be seen by users. What do you think about this idea?
