What URLs to use for help pages?

Open gvwilson opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Should all help pages have uniform URLs or language-specific URLs? I.e., should the Spanish help page for "data" be /es/datos/ or /es/data/?

  • Pro: URLs will be easier to remember if they are translated.
  • Con: We will then have to do translation for all blocks' helpUrl fields when constructing them.

The same question comes up with (for example) the glossary: should the Spanish version be /es/glosario/ or /es/glossary/? The more differences there are, the more maintenance we're going to have to do, but using English terms for the links seems inappropriate.

Hi Greg, I think it's more helpful to have the translated version of the glossary. Yes, including translated words to the URLs that lead to it.

I agree. Similar issue is on the name of the columns ( e.g red, blue, green on colores), which is then it is another layer to translate...
