You ask, as in, whenever I visit the site without having your cookies stored, I'll get a language selector wall first?
I run into those regularly and it's always a struggle to know how to stay on the damn page I clicked on: will the "continue" button use the preselected value or will it dismiss the pop-up and continue on the current page?If the former, is the preselected value the page I'm on or a different language? Can I guess which locale I'm on to select that and dismiss the pop-up then? Can I inspect-element→delete this modal and just sidestep the whole problem? Even just a small close button is a luxury on these language walls...
95 out of 100 times, I'm fine with whatever language I clicked on, and if I want your German version for locale-adjusted shipping info or payment options or whatnot, I'll look for a language selector on the top right or, alternatively, in the page footer. If it's in one of those two places, I'd be much happier about a web without JavaScript-based pop-ups constantly
We're a paid SaaS so I don't think it's as much of an annoyance to be asked once per browser.
It's just a separate page you hit after signing in if we don't have your preference. You click on the language you want and you are redirected to the dashboard.
The option to change it still exists in the footer.
Okay, must say that does sound like a very acceptable flow. You'll have the user logged in at that point so can store it and never need to ask again. Was expecting you built this for regular websites, my bad!
