Maybe since Microsoft Account login was enabled and buying Minecraft: Java Edition is enforced only with Microsoft Account, at my IP, Minecraft official website has begun showing in Japanese as default.
When I changed the language manually into others, it is fixed until I remove entire cookies(removing cookies in specific website means making your computer think you visit the site very firstly). Manually entering website URL(like this) does not work: maybe timing is manually clicking the site locale, not loading the site.
This actually IS bug but I think it is non-critical. At my devices, it is recreatable.
Picture 1: Chrome - minecraft.net - Using Cookies. I removed this to recreate this one.
[media]Picture 2: I just pressed F5. And this happened.
[media]Note: Cookie count for first-visit(Language Not Set: 12 cookies active) is different from language-setup state(13 cookies active as default).
If you want me a video clip, please call me. I'll record it right after I notice that and post it. Since this site doesn't support video upload, maybe I'll link YouTube.
