Description Eyal Rozenberg 2023-06-14 19:15:56 UTC
We currently have a single huge TDF wiki page about language resources:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language/Support

which covers a dozen different subjects, and has a huge table with oversized entries for different languages.

This is bad. It's confusing, and users just get lost in this page. Most of them would probably not even searching for their own language, and those who do - would probably click their language code on the top navigation bar, which doesn't lead them to the appropriate row in the table. It _may_ lead them to an actual page - but that page is sometimes/often/always empty. Example:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language/Support/he
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language/Support/en

when it's not empty - it's a translation of the huge page. Doh! That's probably not what the user wanted.

So, break up this page somehow.

You should use Redmine for issues regarding web stuff.

I overhauled the page, applying Tabulator.js filterable table. It was a bit of a struggle to get working due to various things and sadly I can't get rid of the annoying line spacing seen in the "Additional language extensions" column.
