On: Ask HN: What's the coolest website you know?

Apparently, there's https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=nb for UK, which could be more approachable for non-German-speakers :)

https://geizhals.eu/ is in English and if you then click on the EU flag (top left ) select the Union flag it takes you to skinflint.co.uk.

geizhals.eu is in fact not in english (I never visited it before and it shows in German by default). I can't immediately find a language selector. I don't have german in my preferred languages browser setting.

I'm visiting (first time) from the Americas and I am getting the English version

Interesting; maybe it's doing geolocation based on your IP address? It comes up in English for me (connecting from the UK).

Firefox, Sweden, always serving German. Not a problem, just curious

[jfk13 → kzrdude]

Just a guess: maybe it is designed to serve English only to specific English-speaking regions such as the UK and USA, and defaults to German otherwise.

With all the other high praise, it's strange that they have a dual language website with no way to toggle the language explicitly.

I am getting german, on the eu version, from France, with an english default browser setting...

Shows English to me, I am in Germany

It’s English for me (connecting from Japan), English in settings.
