hi there , as u know this is a good thing to have other languages supports and now we have arabic language as u c. but there is minor problem in it which is when someone new visit the forum website basically the url going to be " Whonix Forum " and if u enter the arabic sub-forum its just consisting of unreadable language , where as if u enter this url " Whonix Forum " and go to the arabic sub forum im sure u gonna c the difference even if u cant understand whats have been written.
some suggested to do this step:-
“change the decode language in DB to UTF-8”
so can u fix this and check if this is true or not ? thnx
I don’t know if changing the decode language is related here, if that would be sane or could cause any issues.
Anyhow…
is now redirected to:
So when users click on the Arabic sub forum, they end up in the Arabic sub forum with Arabic forum language.
Please try.
Added to apache config.
RewriteRule /forum/index.php/board,19.0.html /forum/index.php/board,19.0.html?language=arabic [QSA]
https://www.whonix.org/forum/index.php/board,19.0.html
is now redirected to:
So when users click on the Arabic sub forum, they end up in the Arabic sub forum with Arabic forum language.
well thats fantastic , its working :)))))))))))
Technical notes…
The footer link for some reason was broken, looked for links to the forum for first time visitors without cookies (Tor Browser users) like this:
While it should be like this:
Therefore appending the query parameter [font=courier]?language=arabic[/font] did not work.
The forum footer mod messes that up?
Workaround in place now.
In footer menu there will now be a “non-forum” link https://www.whonix.org/arabic that redirects to the Arabic sub forum Whonix Forum.
RedirectMatch (?i)/arabic https://www.whonix.org/forum/index.php/board,19.0.html
