Although we work in Germany we could het Articulate.com, now we are automatically redirected to de.articulate.com which is in bloody GERMAN.... aaarrrcchhhhhhh...
Ouch! I wonder if they're doing the redirect based on the language preference set in your browser? If your browser is set to English you may not get the redirect...
That's weird. I changed the language settings in my browser, but that doesn't seem to be the issue. And going through a proxy server that is based in Germany also displays the En-language version for me, so location doesn't seem to be the deciding factor either.
On another note: I didn't even know that the official Articulate sites comes in different languages, currently En, Fr, De. The language selector is tugged away at the very bottom of the page:
Maybe this should be made more prominent? Also, it would be nice to have an option and make one of these choices persistent.

I do speak German ,the issue is that a lot of my colleagues do not.
In the meantime, the issues is solved see excerpt from a mail I received
... If I (from Germany) visit www.articulate.com, I can choose the language and it works. They changed it by disabling re-routing right now. It should work. Please try again (maybe delete the browser cache). ...
We've recently launched German and French language versions of the site and it was set up to read the location of your IP address to display the correct language. You can change the language using the selector at the bottom that Michael showed, and it should keep the language for a year. Our team is aware of some issues with this, so they're doing some additional testing. If you're still being redirected to another language than you've selected at the bottom when visiting www.articulate.com please let us know.
