It is one thing to have to dig through mutliple languages to find the English posts after Selecting English.
(Look at the top of the screen, see the white EN ? )

But to have notices sent to my email by the forums in other languages?
Come On Guys!

If your webmaster honestly can't get this straight, they need to not only be Fired, but blackballed.
I wager that our language selection is stored in both Cookies and the $_SESSION - but apparently it is never actually Used for anything but the nifty little indicator at the top that tells us what we picked.... reeeeeally useful...
We have contacted our Customer support team to help you solve your issue.

    Why are you looking thru posts to find english answers. There is 3 different forum sections for each area for english, french and german. selection a language at the top doesnt change the sections

    жаль, не говорю по немецки.
    nuwun sewu, Jerman aku ora ngomongake ing
    Lo ciento, no hablo Aleman. (I know, my Spanish sucks!)

    I can translate the notification.. but honestly there is just no reason for me to get them in anything but the language I Selected on here.

    People have been complaining about this since the first hour the forums were opened.. I think there was some complaint on the Beta forums too, but ..meh, that was beta :wink:

    Because they aren't actually separated on many of the categories. They are still muddled together.

    Regardless to which, my question was about receiving E-Mail from the forum software in other languages.
    And I don't mean they sent a message in English, and a copy in German, etc.
    I get notifications apparently in a Single Random language each time.

    I understood your meaning, it just wasn't the central issue.
    As to Wading Through, look around the forums.. only a few are broken down by language..

    If you click on .. Support let's say .. the forums should automatically know that because you selected English, that it should take you to the English Support forum.
    Being able to click - specifically - to visit those of other languages is great, but the Default should be to the language you specified.

    Simplest terms.. if they're not Using the language choice, why have us make it?

    ..

    In case someone would chime in that they are too busy with bugs, gold spammers, etc.. to fix the forums.
    It would be pretty sad to think that a company with Millions of paying customers would be so cheap, and cut so many corners, that they didn't have a dedicated webmaster - - but instead had a programmer or analyst do the job when they aren't busy with their actual Duties.

    Let's put it this way.... Chrome offers to TRANSLATE the Dev Tracker section.
