Guild Wars 2

Dear ArenaNet-Team,
please give us the option to switch the language of the GuildWars2.com Website. I live in Austria but play the game in english (of course, for me). It is a noucence to have the website switch to german, even when I click on the link of an english article. I know about the possibilities to give the browser language preferences but this onlz neccessary because of your auto/language switching. Please dont do that… :-)

Edit: Oops… somehow totally overlooked the fact that you mentioned the browser language But still… the plugins are a good workaround as they give you an easy to use button to switch to whatever language you wanna use

And you’re right → at least when somebody clicks on a link for a certain language, that article should be displayed and not one in a different language…

Usually, the website chooses the language based upon your browser-settings. If you’re using a german browser/windows, you’ll get the german website.

But you can easily fix this by using something like

• Quick Language Switcher if you are using Chrome
• Quick Locale Switcher if you are using Firefox
• or using the method described in this article if you are using Internet Explorer

Btw. this site displays which languages your browser supports and it shows them in order of preference -> websites with automatic language-switching (like the GW2-site or my http://eotm.gw2info.net site) usually use the most prefered language.
