[St-dev] Localized Help Workspace

[Matthew O'Connor <matthew.oconnor@socialtext.com>]

All,

As part of i18n we tweaked the way the help workspace worked so we  
could have localized help.  We changed /help from being a workspace  
to being a handler.  This handler would redirect you to help-XX where  
XX is the system locale.  However, this approach has some limitations  
which we're not happy with.  We will release this approach as part of  
i18n-p3, but in i18n-p4 will turn around and do things differently.   
Ken and I decided upon the more simpler (and less-codeful) approach:

1) Have /help be the English help workspace.  There is no help-en.
2) Every other locale, which has help, will have a workspace named / 
help-XX where XX is the locale.
3) Update the Help links in the  UI so it points to /help or /help- 
XX, where XX is the user's locale (or system locale).

I am not sure why we just didn't do things this way in the first  
place, but whatever.  It seems simpler and has less side-effects then  
the above approach.  However, as I mentioned, we are going to release  
the redirect approach above as part of i18n-p3 because we don't want  
to delay it any longer.  Then as part of i18n-p4 we will turn around  
and revamp it the way described above.

Comments or concerns?
