Navigating the language boards on the EA forums
We now have support for 9 languages on the EA forums!
(We'll ask folks to stick to the board language, if you're a native speaker of another supported language but prefer to talk in English, please pop over to the English boards.)
Navigation
There's an important distinction to remember when changing languages on the boards, there's the current site language and the language forums.
We like to think of the site language as a Setting, which will flip the site to the relevant language mode, updating buttons and navigation elements.
This setting will also update the side menu (the drop-down one in the top left) to match your current language. Note: this doesn't affect the top-level landing pages for each language.
However the language forums are Places, they're the forums and subforums dedicated to that language.
To change your site language and place, go to the language button in the top right, and choose the appropriate language.
This won't change which language board you're on, so from here you can click on the "Go to [Language] community" button, or the EA Forums structure button just under the site header/side menu.
You can also update your language from your Profile > Preferences page.
Thanks for reading, and we hope this helps.
We are aware of potential updates to the language swapping flow and we'll be implementing changes in the future. You can of course give any feedback on the current flow and future changes here.
