Firefox Hot topic link not localizable (post by Tonnes in a template discussion forum)

  1. A thread was started by Tonnes in the Template:UpdateProblems Discussion forum which I thought should be posted here.

    Possibly because the current UpdateProblems template isn’t localizable, the current behaviour is the ‘Firefox Hot topics’ text always appearing in English when called inside an article (like Installing an older version of Firefox). It would be nice if this template call shows results for the own language, but as this is impossible for the current template, maybe a localizable template is needed? Sidenote: ever since Firefox has this ‘ cookie bug’ (for which we need to clear cookies and cache in order to make localized articles always appear localized if their links do not contain a locale code), the current behaviour of this template is that not only the hardcoded text mentioned above is displayed, but it also points to the English Hot topics page, making it look like the article itself hasn’t been localized fully.

    The "Firefox hot topics" link goes to https://support.mozilla.org/products/firefox/hot

  2. It looks like someone made the template localizable and the problem seems to be fixed. Is this correct?

    It does for nl, and appears to work for other locales as well.

    Thanks!
