Ip-/Geotracked Language Problem

[HairyShirt3400]

hi!

For the love of god, what is the reason that i can't choose the language i want to play the games?
I know i live in a german speaking country, but i like to avoid translation errors and prefer to play in english!
Is there any reason why i can't just choose my prefered interface language in my profil??
Switching it every time i log in is such a drag...

best regards

Hello,

You can switch language from your preferences :
https://boardgamearena.com/#!preferences?section=lang

The language by default is the language of your browser.

Note that you can also help us to translate BGA better to German from this link (and by rewarded with a membership):

Another way is to force the browser to a certain language by prepending the language code to the address. For example, even though I live in an English-speaking country, going to fr.boardgamearena.com, es.boardgamearena.com, or de.boardgamearena.com will have French, Spanish, or German, rather than www,boardgamearena.com defaulting to en.boardgamearena.com.

Long story short -- type en.BoardGameArena.com into the address bar, not www,BoardGameArena.com.

The preference setting doesn't change anything for me
I will try changing the browser language.
Thanks for your answers!

best regards

Your language is configured as English in your preferences, so you should see English page.

If you are redirected to a German page during your navigation, this is a bug.
