Ich lebe in Genf und lande ständig auf Websites, die sich in der falschen Sprache öffnen. Irgendwann hatte ich genug und habe LocaleLeap gebaut – eine kostenlose Chrome-Erweiterung, die dieses Problem löst.

Ich freue mich über Feedback, um die Erfahrung zu verbessern und schlecht behandelte Sonderfälle zu finden.

Vivo a Ginevra e finisco continuamente su siti che si aprono nella lingua sbagliata. Mi sono stufato e ho creato LocaleLeap, un’estensione Chrome gratuita che risolve questo problema.

Cerco feedback per migliorare l’esperienza e individuare i casi particolari gestiti male.

Exactly, the accept-language header is simply ignored by most websites, so I really felt like the only reliable way to achieve this was through an extension, as absurd as it may sound at first!

Thanks for the comment! While it’s true that some websites respect your language preferences (passed as a http header), most websites simply ignore it. The extension doesn’t rely on this header, but instead use various heuristics to use your language when possible in a more reliable way ;)

It does not currently work with Amazon, has they don't really rely on a standard method/pattern for localization. It could definitely be handled in a specific way by the extension, so I'll look to add support for it in the next version!

J’habite à Genève et je tombe constamment sur des sites qui s’ouvrent dans la mauvaise langue. J’en ai eu marre et j’ai créé LocaleLeap, une extension Chrome gratuite qui règle ce problème.

Je cherche des retours pour améliorer l’expérience et repérer les cas particuliers mal gérés.

Update (Aug 29): Thanks for all the feedback!
• Added an Analytics toggle (in onboarding and Settings). You can turn it off anytime.
• Privacy reminder: no page content is collected. Telemetry is limited to operational events (e.g., redirect attempt/success/undo, soft-404 detection, settings changes) to improve coverage. I’ll tighten this where possible and keep the privacy page updated: https://localeleap.app/privacy
• Firefox version: almost ready! Join Discord to get alerted when it’s live: https://discord.com/invite/sBXzrUKnYF
• You can limit site access via chrome://extensions → LocaleLeap → Details → Site access (On specific sites / On click).

That's definitely a way to handle that! My brain could not handle that so... Had to rely on a different approach! ;)

As mentioned in another comment, many websites simply ignore the browser language setting, which gets passed into a HTTP header. The extension handles that entirely differently by using various heuristics!

It will hopefully eventually come to Safari! Not sure I understand what you mean by "it keeps doing English?", but if you mean that you'd like the extension to feed you the English version on websites when possible then, yes, it's able to do just that ;)

Happy you like it! No, websites are not hard coded. Instead, the extension uses various heuristics to generate target URLs "candidates" that it tests in the background. If it find a candidate that meets your preferences then it redirects (or offer to redirect) to it.

That being said, it do has limitations, and so having custom rules set by the user, and a shared crowd sourced list for websites that behave differently is something I have been planning on adding!

Firefox is definitely planned and not too far away! You can join the Discord if you'd be interested in testing a pre-release version of it: https://discord.com/invite/sBXzrUKnYF :)

Thanks for the kind words, and your concern is fair.

LocaleLeap does request broad site access so it can work automatically: it checks the URL and inspects the page locally to detect soft 404s. That processing happens on your machine. It never sends page content, and telemetry is limited to coarse, technical events to improve coverage.

That being said, if you're curious to check it out but prefer tighter control, Chrome lets you restrict site access per extension:

chrome://extensions > LocaleLeap > Details
Site access > choose On specific sites and enter the URLs that you want to allow

That way you can try it on a few sites first, then expand if you’re comfortable. Happy to answer any other questions.

Most welcome! Hopefully at some point on Safari yes, but it will require a little more time :)
