Forum Bug - Language selection broken

Not sure if this is the correct category to report this, but the language selection in the top left corner is broken since about 2-3 weeks.

When I'm in the English forum and want to switch to the German forum it doesn't work, all language links redirect back to the English forum.
See screenshot below, mouse is on the german selection but the link in the bottom corner says /en/
(same with any other language)

A different outcome when you are in the german forum ( https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/de/categories ) and want to switch to english, you get a "Page not Found" error.

Tried it with multiple browsers (Opera, Edge, Firefox), cleaned cache/cookies/data. Nothing works, so it must be an error on your end.


How comes none has noticed this since almost 3 weeks?

    I have noticed this but was helping myself by changing the url manually...

    so @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_GinaBruno
    I second this, it's still broken until today, for months now :neutral:

    Please fix this asap. It really is annoying for us to have to manually change the URL from e.g.
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/
    to
    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/de/
    each time we can to switch to other forums.

    It will always stay at https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/, no matter what language you choose and what link you click.

    @Baertram Was fixed a few months after my first post, they just managed to break it again (since ~mid august),
    this time with additional bugs:

    When visiting the site with a screen resolution of 2560x1440 everything is so incredible big, completely worse on the account page where I'm unable to read most texts since they are overflowing each other, or going straight out of the viewport.

    Tested with multiple browsers (Opera, Edge, Firefox and Chrome all on the latest version as of posting this).
    Cleaned cache/cookies/data with and without incognito mode.
    • Does not happen on lower screen resolutions.
    • Zooming to either 90% or 110% does fix home, accountpage and the navigation in the forums.
    • No, Accessibility option "enlarged text" is not enabled, doing so completely blows the site on that resolution.
    • Issue happens since ~mid August Forum/Account Maintenance.

    You might need to open the screenshot in a new tab to see the issue.

    Default:

    When I zoom in to 110% or 90% it looks normal:

    Oh, I did not realized that (guess it did never properly work on my tablet then (always have to click like 5 times to even make the language selection show and stay); had not tested on a computer).

    Thanks for the info. Only a permanent fix would be still needed now :D
