[site problem] some info is Greek on sumo thread

  1. I note I made an edit to a post, the info displayed about the edit is:

    Possibly the OP in this thread is Greek, but it appears September has been translated into its Greek equivalent, and the time information has been modified ? see
    https://support.mozilla.com/el/questions/880177#answer-252554

    maybe the /el/ is a clue to what happened.

    I also get greek appearing in amongst other places https://support.mozilla.com/el/questions

    I have not knowingly changed settings, presumably there is a specific sumo cookie I can delete to correct this, (I have not tried yet) it is only a minor inconvenience but appears to be a bug.

  2. The support forum UI is partially localized and date/time formats are in the localized part.

    To prevent users from asking questions in languages other than English, it would be better to redirect any locales to /en-US for the support forum and the live chat such as in http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/7.0/releasenotes/.

  3. Thanks scoobi, that explains it. Oddly the localisation seems rather patchy, insofar as some words were localised and some not.

  4. John, that is probably because we reuse strings, or because not every locale has localization for every string

  5. The support and contributor forums are not officially localized, so if a string only appears in one of those, it will not be localized if you view those pages in non-English locales.

    But if a string appears elsewhere on the site (like "Modified by %s on %s", or "Submit" or "Cancel") because that string only needs to be localized once, it will be localized even on non-localized sections of the site.
