The "english" setting does nothing.
just the way the French like it
If they really want to boil our piss, put "English (American)" as the only option. Or or, a little American flag next to "English". Oo, I'm engaging myself right now.
It changes the UI text of the website, such as filters, titles, and sorting options, but not the descriptions.
I can't decide which is worse, a functioning language switch that never included English for the descriptions (which is the only text I actually need translated) or a broken language switch. The way it switches languages is also quite odd, as if it's asking, 'Are you sure?'"
