Description
While English documentation has a separate wordpress instance under /documentation, other languages has articles under /support/article and this is causing inconsistency.
- The navbar on the second row has the title "Forum" even on documentation pages. It should be "Documentation" for such pages, or revert to the previous "Support" which works fine on both forum and article pages.
- The search box placed above the article cannot search articles but shows results from forums. Previous design had search box inside the navbar so there was no confusion but we would expect that the search box is for searching articles when it is placed here.
- (This is more a suggestion) Can we add categories in the breadcrumb like those in English documentation?

Research direction
Compare the English /documentation pages with localized /support/article pages, focusing first on the second-row navbar and the search box above articles. Verify whether the breadcrumb categories are also in scope; done means documentation pages have an unambiguous label, article search returns articles rather than forum results, and the agreed breadcrumb behavior is consistent.
