Interlanguage links on the Wikimedia Diff
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

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

What happens?:

The next time you try to change the language, the transition will not occur. When this happens is not clear (sometimes the transitions do not work completely), but more often when choosing English and some language later. Unfortunately, I was able to clearly determine when the error occurs

What should have happened instead?:

The transition to any language should proceed correctly

Software version (on Special:Version page; skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Used various devices, browsers and geolocations, but could not determine any dependency

Other information :
Trying to change the URL manually is not successful. Noticed something strange: the English version of the site and English posts, unlike the others, does not use the language code in the URL; https://diff.wikimedia.org/en redirects not to the English version, but for unknown reasons to the Spanish article. (?)

This is a bug we're working on. It's related to some security changes we made to that site that is breaking calls to the WordPress API.

The trick is to list a post that has a translation in another language, switch to the language you want to see the site it, and then navigate to other pages on Diff.

  3. Use the language picker in the top navigation to select a different language (say English)
  4. You can then navigate to the rest of the site.
