convert locales from a session/cookie to individual directories

Open recluse4615 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

when working with multilingual sites, it's generally recommended for SEO purposes to:

  • define the language inside the markup
  • include the language/locale in the url (eg: https://content.minetest.net/en-us/ vs https://content.minetest.net/)
  • (optionally - need to confirm) use hreflang on canonical urls to denote different translated versions of the page

problems:

  • package pages: UGC is not translated in to multiple languages, how can we deal with this?
  • flat pages: these also aren't translated

this might be something that's either impossible to do or very difficult, but would be ideal in the long term

This requires package meta translation, which requires that the engine support it first ( https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/12208 )

Engine support has been merged, which means that this issue is now waiting on #516

closing for now, this would be quite disruptive for such a low % of translated packages. Can be reconsidered when more packages support translation
