Auto-Language-Detection on the nette website is extremely annoying #1054

I'm using several Nette components like Latte and love it. Thank you for your great work!

When I need to lookup some informations I go to google and type something like nette latte syntax off.

I then click on the first search result and - unfortunately - land on the docs in GERMAN, as I am from Austria. This might be helpful to some, but for me is this ennoying me every time I have to look something up, as in programming the main language is english and many translations just dont make sense. I want the terms "margin", "padding", "border" etc. to always be those terms and not be translated to "Rahmen" or such.

"Just change the language in the header" you might suggest.

Yes and no...

First, it's annoying to do this over and over again.

Second, if you are further down the page the GUI for changing the language is hidden:

Jump into the shoes of the website visitor and tell me: Where do I change the language from german to english???

IMHO this is really getting annoying and therefore I wanted to report it.

It would be great if you could either turn off this auto language "feature" or if that is not possible add a feature where the website remembers my last chosen language via localStorage for example. That way everybody could choose his/her preferred language and first time visitors get presented the website in the language of their OS.

Thx a lot in advance.

And what URL exactly does the link lead to?

Hi @dg that's a very good question :) It's the german version even though I thought it was english, but the search term "nette latte tags" are listed on the german version as well, so google is the issue here.

Still it would be very handy if the nette website remembered my language choice and then did the redirect to EN even when coming from the german google search result!

@BernhardBaumrock I'm not sure if this could be perceived by google as an unfair practice. I'll try to find out.

Thank you very much @dg
