Human Verification Required
1. Visual Language Switcher Appearance
Test: Navigate to homepage, check header area Expected: Language switcher dropdown visible near right side of header, styled consistently with site design Why human: Visual appearance and styling cannot be verified programmatically
2. Language Switch Flow
Test: Click language switcher, select "Polski" or "Deutsch" Expected: Page reloads in selected language, switcher shows new language name Why human: Page reload and full interaction flow requires browser testing
3. Mobile Language Switcher
Test: View site on mobile viewport (< 768px) Expected: Language label hidden, globe icon visible, touch targets adequate Why human: Responsive behavior requires actual device/viewport testing
4. hreflang Tags in Source
Test: View page source, search for "hreflang"
Expected: <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en/pl/de" href="..."> tags present for all locales
Why human: Need to verify rendered HTML output
5. Account Settings Language Preference
Test: Log in, go to account settings, select "Account Info" tab Expected: Language Preference section visible with dropdown showing en/pl/de options Why human: Requires authenticated session and UI interaction
6. Language Suggestion Banner
Test: Clear cookies, set browser language to German, visit English page Expected: Banner appears at top: "Diese Seite ist auf Deutsch verfugbar" with switch button Why human: Requires browser language configuration and cookie clearing
7. Banner Dismissal Persistence
Test: Dismiss the suggestion banner, refresh page Expected: Banner does not reappear (cookie prevents) Why human: Requires cookie behavior verification
