Localization Link Checker Extension

This extension is here to help web content creators ensure that links on their pages are friendly to users who may prefer to read in a different language. Even if your content is English, you can significantly improve the experience of such users by ensuring that pages and sites you link to will display in their preferred language.

Many web sites can detect and serve content in the preferred language of a visitor. This obviously requires the web site to be localized and less obviously that links to that site do not \"force\" a specific language by passing language as URL parameter, and instead use \"language neutral URLs\".

This extension allows you to visually review a web page by highlighting links with different colors, according to what a non-English user is likely to experience when they follow that link.

It will highlight links on a page as follows:
- Hardcoded English - The URL of the link has a hardcoded 'en-us' language code.
- Known unlocalized site - The link goes to a site known to lack localization.
- Known localized site - The link goes to a site that can typically detect and provide the visitor's prefered language.
- Redirection - The URL of the link is a redirection service.
- Other - Other sites

History:
1.0.1: Adds highlights for \"safelink\" URLs. Red highlight are easier to see. Extra sites recognized as not localized. Fixed icon issue.

Bruno Lewin (ID: 0000007f3ffed00c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/04/2023 This extension makes it super easy to find links that were copied/pasted from the address bar into an article or blog post (and where the URL retained whatever was your current language). The current version (Feb 2023) is mostly useful if you're linking to Microsoft sites. It does not work well with social sites that transform original URLs to short URLs so all show as redirects.
