[issue] RFE: Show the default English help text

TXP help/documentation issue

TXP Feature request:

If no help document for the specified language (i.e. language=de-de) is available:

Example:
http://rpc.textpattern.com/help/?item=plugin_cache_dir&language=de-de

Do not show the frustrating:

Sorry

The help doc you requested does not exist. If you got here via a link from the Textpattern interface, this means it has not yet been created.

Show the default English help text.

Workaround I.: Add link to the English help page

http://rpc.textpattern.com/help/?item=plugin_cache_dir&language=en-us

Workaround II.: Change the frustrating help text

The help doc you requested for your language does not exist. If you got here via a link from the Textpattern interface, this means it has not yet been created for your language.

But you can exchange ‘language=nn-nn’ in the help doc URL with ‘language=en-us’ to get the default English help text. Or try other language parameters.

Re: [issue] RFE: Show the default English help text

+1, if done like this:

[localized]
[if english help text exists]
The help document you requested has not yet been translated to your language. The english version is shown below.
[else]
The help document you requested does not exist.
[end if]
[end localized]

[english help document here]

I think, this is a really useful feature.

Btw: Now, there is the help text. Probably I have translated it in the mean time. If see any missing or unclear text, just let me know. I’m glad to improve the German translation.

Ruud: Yes the logic is good

A 2nd thought is to show the English version in every help doc call as a ‘reference’ if it exists.
