Guild Wars 2

Hey,

I just now noticed that there is an issue with the website localization. Having a german IP i have no way to read blogposts / news in english anymore. While the switch for that is gone for a while, altering the URL (de->en) worked until now. While annoying, now not even this works anymore since the website apparently checks and “fixes” it to be german again.

For the forum, the language switch remains thankfully, but if you choose to go back to the main website after switching to english here, it will result in 404 because the parser puts both the en and the de tag into the URL.

May english speaking people living in central europe PLEASE get english news back…? Thanks.

Yeah, I have tried to test it by changing the URL and it didn’t work. For me the website shows in English and I tried to access like https://guildwars2.com/de/ but it kept redirecting to https://guildwars2.com/en/. Auto-detecting language based on IP and having it only sux big time, give back options to change it manually too. (here goes the “we decide/think for you” thing again… :/)

Hmm, works fine for me (Firefox, Windows, located in Germany, preferred language in the browser set to English before German). Going to https://guildwars2.com redirects to https://guildwars2.com/en as I would expect from the language settings in the browser. Switching the languages around in the browser does the expected and brings up the German version when German is the preferred language. Manually changing to https://guildwars2.com/de gives me the German site, which properly stays German when I navigate around, regardless of the preferred language setting in the browser. Same for https://guildwars2.com/en .
