Bug Description

The RSS feed button appears on all language versions of the website, but clicking it on non-English pages results in a 404 error because RSS feeds only exist for English content.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to any non-English language blog page (e.g., https://nodejs.org/ja/blog for Japanese)
  2. Click the RSS feed button in the blog header
  3. Observe that the URL shows /ja/feed/blog.xml
  4. Page returns 404 Not Found

Expected Behavior

IMO, one of the following should happen:

  • RSS button should be hidden on non-English pages
  • RSS button should redirect to the English RSS feed (/en/feed/blog.xml)
  • Show a clear message explaining RSS is only available in English

(If the team think this is a bug and have a preferred way for fixing it, I can help we that)

Actual Behavior

  • RSS button is visible on all language pages
  • Clicking leads to 404 error with no explanation
  • Users get confused about broken functionality
