localized versions
Currently to me the header text is in German (as I live in Germany):
- Triff Randall Munroe in Berlin am 15. Oktober 2019!
- Hier die deutsche Ausgabe vorbestellen!
(Meet Randall Munroe in Berlin on 15th of October 2019! Preorder the german version here) where "Hier" (here) is a link. 4 odd things I noticed about this:
- It mentions the German version, but not the German verison of what. The book isn't even mentioned.
- When I (re)load the page, for a moment I get the image about winning a stick-figure-sketch of myself.
- XKCD does not use means like other pages (e.g. 713: GeoIP to identify my language. As I am using a swedish VPN, I usually get advertisements in swedish (and redirections to swedish homepages, etc.). Maybe it is my browser settings which are set to German. Can someone identify the method used?
- The link leads to "https://www.xkcd.com/%22https://www.randomhouse.de/Buch/HOW-TO-Wie-man-s-hinkriegt/Randall-Munroe/Penguin/e547637.rhd?utm_source=autorenblog&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=how_to\%22" - a 404 page. (getting rid of the part before the 2nd https gets you to the page of the german publisher.
Someone got an idea on how to put this into the wiki properly? Are there other language versions as well? --Lupo (talk) 06:38, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
