Hello,

I'm new to MuseScore. Unfortunately the help link in the program is not pointing to the localized URL. So I first started to translate music terms before browsing the help docu.
The help resource is great and as I am aware of, know, there is a striking Language dropdown field on the webpage.

It would be fine if the help link in the program could point to the localized help url.

I'm using the german version of MuseScore
link to handbook
https://musescore.org/en/handbook?utm_source=desktop&utm_medium=menu&ut…

URL should be:
https://musescore.org/de/handbuch?utm_source=desktop&utm_medium=menu&ut…

The same with link forum
https://musescore.org/en/node/add/forum
schould be changed to
https://musescore.org/de/node/add/forum

and Program error link:
https://musescore.org/en/node/add/project-issue/musescore?sha=f51dc11
schould be changed to
https://musescore.org/de/node/add/project-issue/musescore?sha=f51dc11

Thank you

As bug reports should be done in English, that link should better not change, but I agree that the other two should. I'll try to look into this...

Hmm, all three menue itmes do lead to the correct nationalized pages for me (the very same that you request them to go to), so I don't see the point of your request?

Hi Jojo,

Thank you for verifying.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro, x64 MuseScroe 2.0.2, German settings with Firefox.
As you see the correct pages, I did some more investigation.

My test with different default browsers:

IE 11 *******************
Default-App-IE.PNG

Forum link is correct:
Forum-IE11.PNG

EDGE *******************
Default-App-Edge.PNG

Forum link is correct:
Forum-Edge.PNG

Firefox ******************
Default-App-Firefox.PNG

Forum link is pointing to EN:
Forum-Firefox.PNG

Odd, I thought.
But now I found, Firefox is installed in English - so it looks like MuseScore is using the default browser langugae.

If this is on purpose, everthing is fine.
I was assuming the MuseScore link is using the MuseScore installation language and not the language of the browser.

Thank you for clarification.

Kind regards,
Christoph
