# Language switch problem Firefox

 * We have set up a multilingual site at eskoworld.com with the help of qTranslateX.
   This goes well in all browsers, but there seems to be a major issue in Firefox.
 * If you go to the homepage, the page immediately redirects to the Turkish page(/
   tr). And even a bit more weird, if you choose the english language on [http://www.eskoworld.com/emea](http://www.eskoworld.com/emea),
   you always will be redirected to the Spanish pages. It’s like the english version
   can’t be accessed on Firefox.
 * Can you check if this is an issue? Maybe this is just a glitch internally here
   because we visit the site so much, but we want to make sure.

 * On the homepage [http://www.eskoworld.com](http://www.eskoworld.com) there isn’t
   a language switcher (should be standard english) and on [http://www.eskoworld.com/emea/](http://www.eskoworld.com/emea/)
   it’s on the top right.
 * English should be our default language.

 * when I visit the homepage I get yoursite.com/tr/
 * Settings – Languages – General Settings
    Check Default Language / Order English
   on top and active ? Detect the language of the browser and redirect accordingly.
   Unchecked?
 * Advanced Settings
    Use Pre-Path Mode (Default, puts /en/ in front of URL). SEO
   friendly. Checked? Hide URL language information for default language. Checked?
 * On yoursite.com/emea/ Link with EskoworldLogo.png is this part of the menu?

 * The only setting that was not the same as your post was the last one (Hide URL
   language information for default language wasn’t checked).
 * I changed this, cleared the cache, but it doesn’t make a difference here, I’m
   afraid.

 * it is now changed…
 * removed cookies and now I get yoursite.com/en/
 * on yoursite.com/en/emea/prague/ I can switch languages also back to English and
   pages seem correct.
 * Only the logo takes me back to yoursite.com/en/ as well as reading in another
   language

 * Hmm, it seems allright now indeed. I did delete my cookies a few times, but not
   with this right options, I think, thanks.
 * Is there a possiblity that our customers are not obliged to remove their cookies?
   Or is this an issue outside the qTranslateX-plugin?

 * If they have chosen a language it will also appear in that language unless they
   first go to the homepage then cookie is set again to EN and they must again choose
   their language at the other pages.
 * I do not understand why the homepage switches to English.
 * How does your .htaccess file look?

 * This seems correct.
 * The logo to the homepage has not the appropriate reference with the language 
   prefix.
 * Is this the basis of the theme or manually set?

 * Ok, thanks. I have set this manually to
 * `<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>`
 * I presume I should change this to
 * `<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>`
 * to get this working again?
