Changing to new language from storefront results in additional get request

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am running Hybris 6.6, and we have added a couple of extra languages, and configured them on BaseStore, CatalogVersions etc. and they are available in the language selector on homepage.

When I use english language and inspect the network traffic everything is fine. Navigation to PDP I can see a get request against productDetailsController.

If I change to one of the new languages - for example Norwegian - the language changes fine. If I now inspect network traffic and navigate to PDP I can see a get request against productDetailsController AND a get request again frontpage.

Due to this additional/extra get request against frontpage its not possible to change language back to english, and its not possible to go through checkout as guest etc. so it breaks a lot of functionality.

Anyone have any idea why this additional/extra get request happens and what I can do to avoid it?

Thanks.

We found the root cause. Localization files for the new languages was missing in the theme message.
