Just struck me as weird - when I go to the Forums page, "Empholen" is at the top, rather than Recommended. Why would the German translation be there? Etsy, this is a little stranger than usual!
@hopeandjoystudios Aha, Thank You, that's it:) When I try to find a Thread for someone, I see old Threads which are from 2021. Then I forget that Etsy has deleted other ones which aren't as old.
I've seen that often in the forums but it happens randomly. I think most people ignore it. Of all the bugs related to the Etsy site and associated forum, that one is the least troubling.
@ChillwolfArt lol thank you, I finally changed it after all these years of hiding behind a moth painting. My dog is my little helper - he never leaves my side.
I have seen random words show in German before too. I often see "Betreff" at the beginning of a post title when a german seller is the latest to reply to the post.
While we’re on the topic of not understanding stuff….can anyone tell me what “Betreff” means? I see it often on threads with a lot of responses or in older threads in place of the OP’s shop name. I’ve never understood it.
@CanningCrafts @Thanks! But it is weird how it changes. Apparently someone wants to confuse the English speaking seller population by sporadically interjecting German words. Go Etsy! lol.
I get both the German and French versions every so often and I must admit I have wondered why. It is a good reminder, though, that Etsy is an international site.
