Maybe a topic for redmine, and something to fix at server side redirection?

Comment 4 Shinji Enoki 2022-06-07 11:22:57 UTC
It may be a good idea to localize the extensions site into each language.

However, this site doesn't seem to be localized now, so it's not necessary to different links for each language.
Comment 5 Shinji Enoki 2022-06-07 12:01:31 UTC
If there is a mechanism for localizing the extensions site or if it will be integrated in the future, it is better to redirect at the site.
Comment 6 Sebastiaan Veld 2022-06-27 10:03:34 UTC
Instead of linking to the Extension site, why does clicking the Extensions button in the Start Center not open the Extension manager dialog? That would make more sense to me. This would allow an user to get an overview of extensions installed on the system. If one would like to know of more extension then from there redirect to the extensions site.

While the button in the Start Center links to the site, it says nothing how to import the extension after that in LO. An user can only do this after downloading the extension from the extension site and import this as trough (like) Writer> Extra> Extension Manager to add the extension.

Would a more obvious way of adding extensions like added here https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/7.1 as added in the sidebar
https://yusufketen.com/post/2020-08-31-libreoffice-gsoc-final-report/
not be a more appropriate/easier way to add extensions?
