Description

Story
As a user, I don't need two language buttons, as it is duplicate functionality

Background
Remove bottom "read in another language" button which we left in place initially to direct existing users to the new language switching button. Currently redirects to thew new button. Side note: we should probably do this before removing instrumentation (T130849) in case this was still driving a high % of clicks.

Test Plan

  1. Visit http://reading-web-staging.wmflabs.org/wiki/T143829 with a modern or basic browser, e.g. Safari 9 on an iPhone 6.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the article
  3. Observe that there's no "Read in another language" button
  4. Scroll to the top of the article
  5. Tap the Screen Shot 2016-10-20 at 11.11.53.png (28×34 px, 1 KB) button
  6. Observe that the language overlay opens with a link to the page on another wiki

I believe originally we thought we should have about 6 weeks of the new page action bar before removing this.

@Tbayer @ovasileva @JKatzWMF the language button has now been dropped from the bottom of the page. Please keep a close eye on interactions to the language switcher over the next week. If you see anything that suggests people are interacting less with the language switcher please report them before next Tuesday (18th) at which point I will continue the process of removing the code that allows us to have the language switcher at the bottom of the page and the language switcher instrumentation code. Up until that time it is trivial for us to revert this if necessary.

(We should be wary that now we don't have a button that says "change language" we are testing the strength of the language icon as well as whether people are more likely to switch language after reading an article in full)

Devs: Please review so we are ready to go if necessary, but Olga I'm assigning this to you to be clear that you are responsible for giving us the green light to remove this code.

@jhobs, @Jdlrobson; I don't tend to track code review comments on merged patches so I'll respond here:

In https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/315668/1/tests/browser/features/step_definitions/language_steps.rb, I removed the "When I click the language button" step because it wasn't being used anywhere. I should've noted that in the commit message.

Thanks for following up @phuedx .

@ovasileva hopefully there should be enough data to give a gut feel for a decision now. Can you take a look Tuesday/Wednesday?

ovasileva added a comment.Oct 17 2016, 5:51 PM

@Jdlrobson - yup! hoping to look at it tonight/tomorrow AM and give an update

ovasileva added a comment.Oct 18 2016, 7:38 PM

Ok, so we're seeing a small decrease after the change, but not significant. However, there's a strange drop in use between september 9 and september 21. Any idea where this came from?

@ovasileva this might be related but there is a big drop in search events between sep 9 and sep 21... maybe an eventloggin bug?

Indeed, these dates look very similar to T146840 .

Attached are screencaps of the different environments I tested with which were listed in the Compatibility page: Safari and Chrome for iOS, and Android Browser and Chrome for Android. In all instances tapping "Qafár af" in the language overlay opened a link to a page on another wiki, so this looks like it works as expected.
