Hi there! I have a bilingual store (English and Romanian) with Romanian set to default and primary market Romania. I added the international market and set as default the English language. However, when I used a VPN to log in from one of the countries in international market, the store opened in my local language. 

 

How can I check if the language redirection actually works for the international market?

 

Thank you!

Hello,

You can confirm that language redirection works by:

1) Check that the language redirection setting is enabled (Settings -> Markets -> Preference) here:

 

2) Set your browser language to English and visit your storefront. Ensure that you don't have any localization cookies in the browser you are using to visit the storefront. 

 

3) You should see English content on your storefront for all system translations (theme, checkout, emails) and any translations you provided to your store.

Check the language that your operating system is set to as well. Sometimes this impacts how browsers treat default and non-default languages.
