i18n AMO and MDN links #2

Closed Gitoffthelawn closed 2 years ago

Can you please revert the MDN link change in all your Pull Requests?

This page is not translated to all languages so I want to keep with the English version.

Sure. What happens when someone accesses an MDN page using a locale that is not translated?

Yes, they link to a working target but no, this is not acceptable for quick access.

The other problem is that if a bug in Bugzilla requests that for some change or feature there is still documentation needed, then usually only the English documentation is updated. Other languages may follow later or never depending on whether the person who did the translations is still in business: https://www.i-programmer.info/news/87-web-development/13921-mozilla-layoffs-include-mdn-team.html

Probably it's best to just assume that the only language, that still receives updates in time, is en-US and ignore all the others.

BUT about your change. The MDN link actually forwards to here: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/temporary-installation-in-firefox/ So probably the best thing in this case is if you replace the MDN link with this updated link.

Thank you for all the info! I'm quite busy for a couple days, so I'm hoping to take care of this for you over the weekend.
