One interesting observation from our investigations, this could be somehow related to caching.

 

As when you change language using one of the two dropdown menus, a URL like this will be called:

https://community-stage.skype.com/?setlang=XX

where XX is the identifier of the selected language, for example 'en', 'de', 'es' and so on.

 

For authenticated users on our stage changing language does not really work at the moment but seems to work (could 100%) when you force the page to be loaded, for example:

https://community-stage.skype.com/?setlang=es?ffdsdfsdfsdfsdf

So I'm wondering whether the request gets cached and instead of actually executing the related business logic, a cached response is returned instead.

hi miikka

one thing for sure, is that if you set the language for a user in the common init, you will have to trigger a refresh of the page if you want that to be applied to the current page.

    Hi ChiaraS,

    yes, we are doing a redirect to a new page after the API call to save the changed language. And it more and more looks like it's related to some caching on some level, just need to understand where exactly.
