A fix for the guild interface freezing bug

It was probably Update 3 -- and the introduction of custom guild ranks in particular -- that brought this bug, which causes the English game client to freeze whenever you open some guilds' info page. See Being in a particular guild freezes my game, can't get in game for reference.
I finally found out what causes the freezing and described it for ZOS developers over at ESOUI.com. But until they fix the client, here's what guild masters can do to avoid the bug.
The game has five built-in ranks (en -- de -- fr):
If you are a guild master, do not use default rank names from other languages for your guild's ranks.
For example, if you're running the German client, and you name your guild's second rank "Officer", then your members with English client will freeze.
If you instead name it "Offizier", the game will match it with the default name and localize that rank -- that is, it will show up as "Offizier" in German, "Officer" in English and "Officier" in French.
Or you can name it something completely different (which won't be localized). Names that don't appear among the default ranks in any language should work flawlessly.

Why ESO needs a monthly subscription
When an MMO is designed around a revenue model rather than around fun, it doesn’t have a long-term future. ― Richard A. Bartle
Their idea of transparent, at least when it comes to communication, bears a striking resemblance to a block of coal. ― lordrichter
... in the balance of power between the accountants and marketing types against the artists, developers and those who generally want to build and run a good game then that balance needs to always be in favour of the latter - because the former will drag the game into the ground for every last bean they can squeeze out of it. ― Santie Claws
