When I go on the page with all the developper's documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=gentoodev and click on a foreign language to get the translated pages, i end up on: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/index.xml which is the french translation of the user's documentation. Obviously, the GET variable catid=gentoodev isn't written in the links. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
As mentioned on irc, this will likely be a 'cantfix'. I can't see how it can be done at this point. The catid param is available to the stylesheets, but how do they know 1) they are processing a doc index? 2) the target is another doc index and it can use the catid parameter? Bear in mind that doc indexes can either be a normal document or be generated by metadoc. I'll leave this bug open to suggestions and keep the issue somewhere in my head.
OK, now that all active doc indexes (/doc/$LANG/index.xml) use metadoc (ru is waiting in bugzilla but will make it online soon, I hope), we know that a doc index supports the catid param. We can test whether the target is another doc index and add the catid param to the link. It's implemented on my test site: http://gentoo.neysx.org/doc/en/?catid=install Testing whether the current page is a doc index can't be ported to www.g.o, but that should not cause any ill-effects.
Fixed. Thanks for reporting.
