Language guess on support forums isn't working

[adamwood]

The support forums homepage has a language guess banner, but it currently does nothing. This is due to the mu-plugin and ajax endpoint both only handling /support/ and not /support/forums/.

r21757-dotorg:

Lang guess: Support `/support/forums/` as a support forums homepage.

See https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7504

I don't think there's anything that links to wordpress.org/support/ in lang guess, as we don't currently suggest non-en locales go to en.

Thanks for working on this @dd32, I think we need one more change. The banner is correctly detecting that it's on the support forums now, but the link is pointing to /support/, not /support/forums/, here's the German version:

This is set on ​https://dotorg.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wordpress/website/lang-guess/lang-guess-ajax.php#L110

What do you think?

[adamwood]

Actually there is ongoing discussion related to where this link should land. I think we're good for now.

Yeah, this was intentional; AFAIK only the english forums is /support/forums/ currently (and that's a problem to me) and this never suggests the english forums.

Cool, yeah I understand the first comment now, sorry :)
