Description
This is a Bug Report
Problem:
The English kubectl cheat sheet page was renamed/moved from /docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/ to /docs/reference/kubectl/quick-reference/. However, the Portuguese (and likely other localized) translation still lives at the old path: /pt-br/docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/. As a result, when using the language switcher dropdown on the Portuguese page to switch to English, it cannot find a matching English page at the old slug and redirects to the homepage (https://kubernetes.io/) instead of the correct current page.
Proposed Solution:
Either (a) rename/move the localized pt-br (and other language) cheat sheet pages to match the new quick-reference slug so the switcher resolves correctly, or (b) add a redirect from the old cheatsheet slug to quick-reference for all locales, so the language switcher (and any bookmarked/indexed links) continue to work.
Page to Update:
https://kubernetes.io/pt-br/docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/
Additional Information:
The current English version lives at https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/quick-reference/ — the old English URL at /docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/ and /docs/user-guide/kubectl-cheatsheet/ also still show up in search results and community references, suggesting broader redirect/legacy-URL cleanup may be needed across locales.
