Grrr... this is annoying... software.opensuse.org is displaying in German on me. I'm connecting from a German IP, but have my browser language preferences set to English. Anyone else see the "wrong" language? (ie a language other than the browser preference) Not only do I get the page all in German now (a language I cannot read), there is no apparent way to set things back to English.
I've emailed the webmaster at opensuse.org about this... I dearly hope that someone hasn't done something really really stupid like.. dare I say it.. set up geolocation to "guess" the language of the user browsing to the site. Geolocation cannot get the language right... language settings should always base it on the browser string, not the geolocated IP :-(
We are currently working on i18n'ing the site for the upcoming release. Probably something got messed up while testing the new features, sorry for the confusion, we will fix this. But afaic the language is chosen by the accept header, and not by ip location.
