@Andreas: Thanks for testing! Sounds promising.
The search feature is using Google, so those search results depend on
what's indexed there. Currently it's basically URLs of this format:

Browsing around, following links, testing to change language on multiple pages.
Nice work!
Looks like the search function redirects away from the dev area, so I couldn't
test that.
Tested on:
Ubuntu 16.04:
- Chromium Version 64.0.3282.167
- Firefox 58.
Gunnar and I have been working on a solution to this issue, based on
Aders and Hans comments above and what gnome help does, and think we
have something very practical and useful. It is now available for
testing on help.ubuntu.com, in the development area, and only for the
desktop help docs, so far

@Hans: You can force any localized page to show up by including the
language code in the URL, for instance:

The problem is that the addresses in all the links end with just .html.

A quick simple stop-gap solution would be to have the language code
within the URL. This way, users could manually force the language of
their choice by changing the URL.

That's true. I agree it goes counter to modern standards. Maybe
"standards" is an exaggeration but at least modern "expectations".

This makes little sense. I can't think of practically any other modern

That page is one of only a few hand written html files that "glue" the
entire help.ubuntu.com together. By far, most of the files actually have
their master code in another project (help docs or serverguide or

The documentation is broken in my language with faulty grammar and

Well, currently the web server responses in the language the browser
