Translating our web site - IMPORTANT

[Aleksey Bragin]

Dear translators,
please DO NOT SET the url redirection in your translated pages (unless 
you was told so by Z98 or me).

I repeat, DO NOT SET it at all. DO NOT try to fix the url by doing so, 
don't try to think you're smarter and can work around the different url 
problem by setting the redirects. Drupal 7 is not smarter alas, and 
doesn't detect circular references in all cases.


Thanks for understanding,
Aleksey Bragin

It turns out, that Drupal automatically (!??!!?) adds this redirect when 
title of the translated page is changed. This needs to be tested and if 
so, complained to the Drupal [module] developers, because this "feature" 
is very bad.

Best regards,
Aleksey Bragin

Are you using the redirect module? I know only of that module that adds redirects for
title updates, so as to prevent breaking the old URL. If that causes issues, like a
circular redirect, there are already numerous issue reports and AFAICT a fix is around the
corner.

It looks like that "feature" is guilty, and I falsely blamed translators.

I fail to see where this feature is bad.
Having translated URLs is good in terms of website indexing.
 
Kind regards,

Do you have any idea how pain in the ass it is to try typing a url that's
Chinese or Japanese?
