Description

As user documentation is available translated into several languages, it would be helpful to not only have them on docs.nextcloud.com, but also include them locally on every installation as is case of English variant under https://your-nextcloud.tld/settings/help

reasoning:

  • better discoverability of translations for users (link Documentation, pointing at page in English, from which translated version is finally reachable can be missed by lot of users concluding on first sight, that translations are not available - judged from empty Languages section in displayed local documentation)

  • usage on networks with restricted/no access to Internet

Thanks for considering this

Research direction

Start by reviewing the local documentation available under /settings/help and how the English variant is included in a base installation, then compare it with the translated documentation on docs.nextcloud.com. Done means localized user and administrator documentation is discoverable and usable from a standard installation without Internet access.
