Hello all,

The attached patch to maintenance.git fixes the remaining minor issue:
Now Accept-Language language codes get normalized, zh to zh-CN, so web
browsers requesting any kind of Chinese get the website in mainland
Chinese.  (This is a minor issue.  The only valid URL is /zh-CN/ since
my last patch to guix-artwork because I don’t know how to
rewrite/redirect URLs in nginx.)

The patch was tested on a berlin VM.

There is no copyright header in maintenance.git’s
hydra/nginx/berlin.scm so I did not add a copyright.  I hereby license
the patch CC0
<https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode>.

Shall I just push?  A reconfigure of berlin will be necessary but is
not urgent.

Regards,
Florian

Subject: [PATCH] nginx: berlin: Normalize Accept-Language language code zh to
 zh-CN.

Now web browsers requesting any kind of Chinese get the website in
mainland Chinese.

zh, zh-Hans, zh-Hans-CN all are synonymous with zh-CN now.

* hydra/nginx/berlin.scm (accept-languages): New procedure.
(%extra-content): Normalize $lang variable with it.
