Redirection error when accessing an English page

Descrizione

When finding some pages using web searches, they usually give me English sites, like https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-team. That's fine, but it tries to redirect me to a localized version of the site. If it doesn't exists, I get an Firefox (or whatever fork I'm using) redirection error.

My suggestion would be to just display the English version if there's no localized version available.

Could you elaborate on how do you get that to happen, as in reproducible steps?

That is what the redirection is doing, it is either that or showing a 404 for a content that exists but is not translated to the language the url you are requesting is asking for.

I created a new Abrowser profile (since I had some settings on trisquel.info) and browsed on www.trisquel.info. I got the German webpage (my native language and browser language). Then I took a link to an English trisquel.info page I found on DuckDuckGo: https://trisquel.info/en/new-year-new-building-system-and-more-transparency

Then I get a redirection error. If I change the language using the language switcher, I can browse on this site.
