Language Challenge

I tried to check out something concerning the game Black and White 2. I went to a browser and typed: www.blackandwhite2.com.

It automatically transferred me to http://lionsource.planet-multiplayer.de/. In case you didn’t know, .de is for Deutschland, that is Germany.

Yes, I haven’t told you: I am from Hungary. I’ve already met this strange premise (all right, at least it’s strange for us), that Hungarians happens to speak German, at least speak better than English. (Which is a historical misconception, from which I will spare you.) Well, we don’t.

If I browsed to a probably-English site, I wouldn't want to be transferred to a German speaking page. Or if that happened by mistake, I would like to switch back to English. But I can’t find the words “English”, “Language”, or even “Englisch” on the page. No way to switch, no way to understand.

(Well, to the end of this post, the right address googled out is http://www.lionhead.com/bw2/.)
