So, this is an issue that has been bothering me since the website launched and I can’t find any subjects related to this bug/poor design choice.
For a while now I have struggled with the Guild Wars 2 website defaulting to french. I was able to circumvent this by adding the English version in my favorite bar, but it only goes so far as whenever I access another section of the website it goes back to french.
The language I selected, English is also forgotten whenever I access the section in question from a new tab (same as if I would close the browser).
An example of this “bug” would be whenever I access the forums, it defaults to the french version of the forums.
The language I select, English is also forgotten whenever I access the section in question from a new tab (same as if I would close the browser). Do not confuse this with the forums being reset to french when I change from one section to another, it remembers I picked English in those cases.
The reason I think this is a bug is because the wiki always defaults to English for me
So, is this intended, or are the cookies saving the selected language bugged, or do you simply throw whatever language on that suits the region the IP is located in ?
If anyone wonders, french is my native tongue, but I find it extremely cringe-worthy in video games and on the Internet in general, and I much prefer English as it also has a higher proportion of active members.
I also have a English version of W10 and my browser’s default language is also English, which is why I ask about the region detection.
Thank you.
EDIT: Also, there are no language buttons for the account page.
