 ===Localization===
-The locale should be detected (and possible to override) like articles. Only the selected/detected locale should be searched. However, many locales will have incomplete translations, which means it would also list content not localized (using the same locale fallback mechanism as defined in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398353]). In summary, a search should return all results for the current locale + any remaining articles in the fallback locales, but it should never list the same article twice, even if it exists for two locales.
+* A search should be performed on the current locale (as detected already by SUMO and shown in the URL)
+*Many locales will have incomplete translations, so it would also list content not localized in en-US
+*Logged in users should be able to specify another locale fallback order
+In summary, a search should return all results for the current locale + any remaining articles in the fallback locale (en-US), but it should never list the same article twice, even if it exists for both locales.
+Future: It should be possible to hard-code another locale fallback for some locales. For example, for the pt-BR locale, falling back to pt-PT first would be better than en-US.
