Cmdluke Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 anyone else seeing all tags and buttons in german on the english version of the site? forums are still in english, but tags like 'sticky' and 'last page' as well as the 'submit' and 'preview' buttons are all in german.

TUXs Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 It happens. Click EN in the upper left (next to PLAY NOW). Not sure why it bugs on occasion, but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlon_Nabarlly Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yup I've seen this a number of times. The forums are different based on links, but those buttons on the top control the langue of the buttons and navigation and that type of stuff.

Cmdluke Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 weird. I went back and forth on those buttons a few times. doing it again seemed to have fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZionHalcyon Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This always seems to happen to me when I click on a link from Google that is directed at the SWTOR forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mevan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Yep, been like it for a while, quite often takes unreasonable effort to change it to English too :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tglass Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This always seems to happen to me when I click on a link from Google that is directed at the SWTOR forums. That would make sense. The links probably have the language in the url. If you click the FR or DE buttons at the top of the page, you can see the url adds /fr or /de after the swtor.com. This sets the language for the page layout. As mentioned, clicking the EN link will set it back to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's one example: 1. Google "swtor lightside appearance" 2. Click on the thread "Any plans for light side appearance changes?" 3. Your page is now in German.

KhodaKat Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Here's one example: 1. Google "swtor lightside appearance" 2. Click on the thread "Any plans for light side appearance changes?" 3. Your page is now in German. Hmm.. came up english for me... However, I have also experienced the forums trying to insist I speak (or read) a different language. It's happened infrequently, for a long time.. maybe as long as I've been playing (April?), but it seems to happen mostly after I've attempted to visit the forums downtime (patch day). It has happened more frequently, and more randomly recently, and not always when clicking in from Google. I have a bunch of bookmarks to forum posts here, and I've had those come up with German as well. Sometimes clicking the "EN" button works.. but it usually takes several tries before it 'sticks'. Most of this is just circumstantial hindsight observation. If it happens again, I'll pay more attention to specifics and come back here and post...

JadenGatekeeper Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 yeah I can see this being a dozen different things as to why it happens. Google is one complex beast. Could be something to do with their redirect system. In fact I'd more than bet on it. Don't think this is a problem with the forum itself. Sometimes google's redirects go kind of funky and I've seen that happen with non-swtor sites as well, albeit really rare to see it, at least for me, but I have had it happen a couple times coming in from google as well.

Tmanarl Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This happens for me from time to time. Clicking the 'EN' button up top fixes it, it's just odd that DE would show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaresch Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 This happens for me from time to time. Clicking the 'EN' button up top fixes it, it's just odd that DE would show up. Ditto and ditto.

Pantaro Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Yep, been like it for a while, quite often takes unreasonable effort to change it to English too :/ Like they said been like that forever i just click english so easy to do i didnt feel the need to say much about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timonius Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've found it to be a browser issue (it usually happens to me when clicking an external link via search that contains '/fr' or '/de' in the link). Simply clear your cache, history, cookies, etc. and reload the EN page. On a side note: A solution to this for those signed into their account would be to tie it into one's account preferences.

TUXs Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 It's completely random. Just every once in awhile I come to the site and it will switch to French for me for some odd reason. I'm not sure if it's all random or not...I've never done a Google search and I've had this issue- it's always originated from within this site itself. Last week it happened, but I chalked it up to a very busy forum day. It almost seemed like after so many EN people are online, it switches us to a new FR or DE instance. I believe it has something to do with links (from this site to this site), as that seems to be when I encounter it the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanchito Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The issue for me happens when I come to the forums via google search. yes exactly this, happens to me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUXs Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 yes exactly this, happens to me too Since mine seems to happen with internal inks in this forum, not from Google, would that have something to do with how links are routed possibly?

tglass Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Here's one example: 1. Google "swtor lightside appearance" 2. Click on the thread "Any plans for light side appearance changes?" 3. Your page is now in German. The URL for that link is http://www.swtor.com/de/community/showthread.php.... the link has the /de in it which is why it loads in German.

Dev Post AmberGreen Posted February 7, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank you for your reports! We’ve investigated this issue, and it appears to be a rare problem with the way some search engines index our website and forums. If you experience this issue, there are two easy workarounds. As others have stated in the thread, you can use the language toggle buttons at the top of the page, or you can manually edit the URL in your browser to take out the unintended language that’s being displayed (/fr/ or /de/).
