This morning I found French words intermingled with English text on the Kiva site.

A first attempt to offer a multilingual website? I did not select a language when entering the site, so Kiva must fetch my system information or IP address. After my logging out it still speaks French.

Does anyone see still another language than English or French?

Robert


EDIT   : Now it reverts to English when I log out and refresh. Probably it's login driven.
EDIT 2: The KF spellchecker doesn't like the quote Grin

Hi Robert,

only English for me. German seems to have not been added yet to the multilingual features.  Grin

At the same, the glitch regarding the horrible display of Umlaute and accented letters, that I had mentioned here, has been addressed. You can't stop progress.

The problem regarding my password is still pending. It's impossible to select anything but "normal" characters.

Even the Help file is partially in French, but here the display is again wrong:
