Projects header unexpectedly displays in German
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Go to the Foundation's website (make sure your language is set to English)
  • Scroll down to the Projects section
  • Observer the header

What happens?:

The header displays in German. It doesn't appear to be a "multilingual" string (i.e. one that switches language at a regular interval) as it does not change - in addition, it displays in French if you change your language to French.

What should have happened instead?:

It should display in English.

I'm using Firefox 109 on Windows 11.

...plus it has zero language metadata for screenreader software. Same for German Verbindung lower on that page shown when I switch to Russian or French.

May have to do with WMF decisions to throw random languages at people for questionable marketing reasons.
