Learn WordPress link is not localized

[timse201]

The Learn WordPress link in the admin bar dropdown menu is not localized. It appears when you hover over the WordPress icon.

​https://learn.wordpress.org/
should be for example
​https://learn.wordpress.org/?locale=de_DE

Hello @timse201 ,

Thank you for raising this issue. Upon reviewing, it seems there is no problem with the translation in this case.

Based on the ​code reference provided , the 'Learn WordPress' is already using translation ready function. I also checked other locales such as ​hi_IN, ​fr_FR, and the translations appear to be working well.

It might be possible that the specific phrase has not been translated yet for the locale in question.

@im3dabasia1
Thanks for reply.
I refer to this hardcoded link: ​https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/blob/91eb2517bed7d2e9668eda228a83f4db511f19d0/src/wp-includes/admin-bar.php#L208

WordPress sites add the locale tag automatically:

Hi @timse201,

Thank you for raising this ticket and pointing out the issue.

Great observation! The link was indeed missing the locale parameter. I’ve submitted a PR to address this issue.

Fixed "Learn WordPress" link with locale parameter.

I think it would be better to just wrap the URL in ()

This way, every locale can correctly translate the URL so it works best for them. For example de_DE_formal may want to use ?locale=de_DE instead

62459.patch​ already wraps the URL in the __() function, so that would not require a refreshed patch.

@audrasjb noted in ticket:58820#comment:9 that Learn WP automatically redirects according to the browser's language (at least with French). A localized URL might help if that ever changes.

In 59425:

Toolbar: Allow the Learn WordPress link to be localized.

The Learn WordPress website is supposed to automatically redirect to the correct locale according to the browser's language settings, however that may not work as expected in some cases.

This commit brings consistency with the other WordPress.org links, which can be localized as appropriate.

Fixes #62459.

Thanks for the PR! Merged a slightly different approach in r59425.
