improve SEO Handling for html lang #18

Closed fczaja closed 9 years ago

fczaja commented 9 years ago

Description

The HTML lang attribute should be changeable by the shop owner, so he can use the language-country notation (e.g. en-US) or the language notation (e.g. en) per language.

Reason

Google decides by the HTML lang attribute where in the world the contents of the website are found in the Google search.

current behavior

For example the default HTML lang attribute for english pages is currently

<html lang="en-us">

Here we are only relevant for the english language in the United States.

expected behavior

We need a selection box in the odoo backend where we can change the HTML lang per language. It must be possible to select

<html lang="en">
<html lang="en-US">
<html lang="de">
<html lang="de-DE">
etc.

If a selection box is to complicated a simple char field per language is also acceptable. Than the shop owner has to fill in the correct language-country or language notation.

In the current solution there is a new field for model res.lang (language) named short_code. You can access in the systems by Settings / Translations / Language. This field is used to improve SEO URL, there is a closed issue related: https://github.com/blooparksystems/website/issues/13.

When you set short_code with "en" then HTML lang also use that value. Then you can decide what HTML lang to use editing short_code for each language.

My question: is that enough? or do we need one variables for URL lang and another variable for HTML lang?

:+1: the current implemented solution is fine for me. I think we need to have the runbot running, because it will be easier for testing. Would be also nice to have a link to the related build in a ticket like in jira / bamboo
