hi @trlef19! our system does not detect locale based on IP address, but user preference as indicated by the browser.

okay, and how is that specified?

that depends on what browser you are using and how you have configured that. our system just knows what Accept-Language header is being sent by your browser and adjusts accordingly.

This is most probably because we do not send Vary: Accept-Language for URLs that are not language-specific, and the page gets cached by Fastly with the first request after the cache expires (most often english).

We need to add this header to all pages that are not using a local-specific prefix.
