   Regarding your request for changes @dblotsky:
   
   > Redirecting to 404 would be a pretty awful experience.
   
   Agreed.
   
   > I think obsoleting all translations is a big enough deal that we should:
   > 1. Announce it (e.g. in a blog post),
   
   That would definitely be great to have.
   
   > 2. Come up with a new redirect page, specifically for language deprecation.
   
   Here I would go with what @janpio proposed:
   
   > Here it would probably make sense to redirect to the EN version of everything.
   
   I think this is more helpful than a redirect to a deprecation message. And it's very easy to implement. The following snippet added to [`www/.htaccess`](https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/d0890966b46655bbdeb8f2bf980b09a1f5bef525/www/.htaccess#L75) _should_ do the job (_untested_):
   
   ```apache
   # Redirect all docs translations to their English version
   RewriteCond $1 !=en
   RewriteRule ^.*docs/(\w\w(?:-\w\w)?)/(.*)$ {{site.baseurl}}/docs/en/$2 [R=301,L]
   ```
   
   > 3. Have a roadmap to change the build system not to build for all those languages.
   
   IMHO, that is a matter of creating an issue titled _Remove language support from build system_ but should not block us from going live with these changes. It can be addressed when someone finds the time to do so.
