Description
- Open Nextcloud main menu
- choose "? Help"
"User" and "Administrator" documentation items are localized, but the main documentation is in English.
External links point to english documentation as well, even if loclized ones are available (italian, in my case).
Nextcloud version: 20.0.9
Localization: italian
The localized version of the manual could be downloaded automatically when a user switches localization settings, or at least when admin changes localization globally.

Research direction
The reported entry point is Nextcloud’s main menu > “? Help”; reproduce it with Italian localization and inspect the User, Administrator, and main documentation links. Trace where these links are assembled and verify available localized manuals, with English remaining as the fallback when no translation exists.
