Common-voice: Unexpected language change in the website

[kdalkafoukis]

Description

The language of the website changes after using auto-fill from chrome with english(uk) selected language.

• preselected language for the website english
• Browser chrome

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://voice.mozilla.org/en/datasets

1. In the email text field choose an email with uk language

1. the result is the language to automatically change to polish even though the selected language is english

My apologies if the issue is irrelevant with the website.

I could reproduce this, very interesting. United Kingdom -> UK -> uk (Ukranian)? The same also happens with a German (de) address for example

[MichaelKohler]

@mbransn I assume that is not intended, right?

[mbransn]

Nope, not intended. Thanks for flagging @kdalkafoukis -- were you able to download the language you intended?

And to confirm, the website is triggered to localize to the language tied to the auto-complete email address (EN -> UK) ; the dataset language selected to download does not change (remained as EN).

@ovidiuboca1 are you able to reproduce?

Yes, the dataset language does not change, just the UI language.

@mbransn
I tested this and I can reproduce it on Windows 10, Mac OS 10.14 with Chrome browser.

Is the language code in the URL changing when you hit autocomplete? Or does the URL still say /en/datasets and you're just looking at Polish/German/whatever somehow?

[ovidiuboca1]

The language code in the URL is changing. If I select Romanian the URL will be https://voice.mozilla.org/ro/datasets
The same for the UK the URL becomes https://voice.mozilla.org/uk/datasets but the language is Ukrainian.

Cool, we'll try to get a fix for it in this sprint. Thanks for reporting @kdalkafoukis!

[phirework]

My apologies for never circling back on this but was fixed a few sprints ago! The issue had to do with Chrome's autocomplete changing our language state if there was a country attached to the email address that you're autocompleting with. Thanks again for the report + troubleshooting.
