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

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.
