Re: WAI Translations - Language of site nav - talk by phone

To be honest I haven’t event really processed the feedback that we already got. I gave some hot takes in between other things but it is very hard for me to commit to this and productively use TPAC time.

The navigation is a “chose your poison” thing, everything has its downsides. I just think we have to chose one.

I explored some options (including not having the site-wide navigation on translations), Eric provided more input (showing why that's a bad idea for some users, like him :-), I revised the info and straw proposal, and now it's ready for more input. Analysis of the issue and options is at:
