  Hello,

  On the WP landing page https://wordpress.com/, “Language:” remains the same even when switched to a different language, is that normal?
  See http://imgur.com/a/fNaNf

  However, the string does look to be already translated in GlotPress: for German, Arabic, etc…

  Thanks for pointing out the issue!
  I’ve passed on the information to our developers, and will let you know once it’s fixed.

  Hi xijina!

  The word is intentionally untranslated, so that users can find the language selector when s/he is on a page in a wrong language.

  We are planning to make changes around that feature to improve the design and usability, so stay tuned!

  Thanks :)
  I kinda suspected it may have been intentional, but also does looks odd, so glad to know improvements are coming!
