[opensuse-wiki] validate email address instructions in German
while looking at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Services_help just now i saw a new (to me) link saying to edit i need to verify my email address...(a feat i thought was done years ago when i received my novell/openSUSE ID/password login for the forum..) but i decided to play the new game and am directed to: http://en.opensuse.org/Help:Email_validation which includes instruction to go to https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/validateEmail.jsp where i am assaulted ;-) with German text that will NOT translate to understandable English at google.. </sigh> i don't really enjoy these games.. and, since i guess it might be an iChain thing, i'm not sure if i should report it to an iChain person, the wiki mail list, Henne direct, admin@opensuse.org, webmaster@opensuse.org, or to the wiki forum.. but, since i don't see this situation described on http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Services_help maybe it should go to Bugzilla as an "Anything else" but, for now i'll hold off on filing a bug..

I think the Novell account pages switch to a language that is preferred by your browser. You could check for example on http://www.ericgiguere.com/tools/http-header-viewer.html if your browser prefers german (accept-language).
