טהאַץ ניט די דערקלערונג, מיין בלעטערער האט קיינמאָל געווען באַשטימט צו רוסיש אָבער איך געזען עס ווען איך לאָגד אויס פּונקט ווי ער האט, איך הענטשקע - לאָשן וואַוטש אַז זיין בלעטערער האט קיינמאָל געווען רוסיש אָבער ער ס ינדיאַן, לעבן אין ניו דעהלי און טיפן און רעדט אין ענגליש אַזוי וואָס אויף ערד וואָלט אונדזער קיכלעך זיין לייענען ווי רוסיש?

מיין אַנטשולדיקן עס לייענען כעדערז, איר זאל אפילו קיינמאָל שטעלן / נוצן רוסישע שפּראַך, אָבער אייער בלעטערער קענען דין איר געווען. דעם איז אַלע קענען איך זאָגן אָן קאָנטראָלירונג עס - נעבעכדיק איך קענען ניט זען דעם אויפֿשפּרינג

איך האב אויסגעדרייט די רוסישע שפּראַך אַוועק, געזען די קנאַל-אַרויף וועט ניט העלפן איר ווי אַמאָל איר האָבן דיסמיסט עס, עס גייט נישט קומען צוריק (לפּחות ניט פֿאַר אַ בשעת!), עס ס ניט מעגלעך פֿאַר מיין בלעטערער צו "טראַכטן" איך האָבן באַשטימט אָדער נוצן רוסישע שפּראַך, די בלויז לשון וואס האט אלץ געווען שטעלן אין מיין בלעטערער איז די פעליקייַט ענגליש וק, ווי איך געזאגט איך הענטשקע - לאָשן וואַוטש פֿאַר די מענטש וואס געמאלדן עס, איך האָבן יקספּיריאַנסט עס פריער און ים שיין זיכער אנדערע זענען אויך .

In order for a language mistake to take place i'd either have to physically change it, use software to change it (וובעט) or us a russian proxy (or proxy set up to fake being russian) only one of which is possible for me and thats וובעט.

הי. איך טאָן ניט פאַרשטיין ווו ביסט דו גיי צו. איר גאַט פּשוט ענטפֿערן - די נאַטור איז געצווונגען דורך איר - איר שטעלן עס אין סעטטינגס.
And you can easily turn it off in אַדמין קפּ -> וובעט -> מיסק -> רעדירעקט צו באַניצער שפּראַך.
Go there and set Disabled. וובעט will not ask or redirection anymore.

It is great that וובעט behaves how you configured it. It would be bad if it ignore your settings. For software doesn't matter which language user speaks or what does he claims about his browser settings. For software only thing that matters are actual headers which comes with request. And those are checked with settings we are discussing about. Nothing more. That is how וובעט works here and you can easily change it if you want. by your configuration.

I suggest to check your browser settings when it will happen again (it you still will have asked redirections turned on). And if you will not find there in language settings the language you are asked to be redirected, then check also what comes to the server (add some logs) - please remember that Internet is a big place and your packages comes by lot of places - it is possible that some proxy server adds own headers to your request. Anyway - there is no magic. If you where asked to redirect by וובעט and it was redirect to Russian language then rout request had in language headers Russian language on the top of all languages known by וובעט. You can check it yourself if you want - just go to file /includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_lang.php and check function vbet_getRedirectionLanguage. This is also good place to add your logs if you thing that we have bug and want to prove it to us.

If you prefer to disable full application instead of one parameter (which you set yourself) - do what you think, think what you do... It is your forum. We are happy to explain you why this happened and how you can change it. If you need more help please just write

Michael, thanks for the response, yes i have configured וובעט to ask and וובעט should work this way without problems, however the issue was that unregistered or peopel who log out were being asked the redirect question, וובעט, as far as i know should not work this way, also the language is ALWAYS russian, so here's the two scenario's:
1. Unregistered user from India visits the site, see's the pop up (in russian) asking if he wants to set his language to russian, he declines and can view the site as normal in english, if he accepts (but please bear in mind as he doesn't speak russian he cannot read the pop up) he's transported to Microsoft Office Help - Microsoft Office Discussion - Excel VBA Programming - Access Programming

2. I get told about this (and have experienced it myself in the past) and log out of the forum, select the link to take me to the place i was viewing before and then i get the pop up in Russian, the the same scenario as above takes place

If we are logged out why would we be presented with the pop up? the pop up is only for logged in people isn't it?

It won't be my server as its in the UK and is dedicated, i have total control over it, as i sadi though, i've turned the Russian language off now so hopefully that will stop the issue.

No this happens for people who starts new session:

Redirection will happen only at the beginning of new session (client must have cookies enabled or will be redirected each time).

And it is recognized by cookies.

Also as I wrote before only what matters for your server is what language header comes with request. And it appears that in booth your scenarios header with Russian language came with request. Please check your server configuration - maybe you have set some default language added when no language header is set. Anyway I doubt that we have bug here. This functionality wasn't modified for very long time and it is working fine. We can check it if it will happen again in logs - most probably it will show what I wrote - that Russian language code was send in appropriate header. If I'm wrong we will correct the bug, but first we need to confirm that there is any bug.
