Description

What happened?

When selecting "Evergreen Standalone Installer" at the following page (at least en-us and fi-fi locales), the license agreement is displayed in Russian:

https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH
https://developer.microsoft.com/fi-fi/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH

Some features of our application require WebView2 and we direct customers who don't have it to this site. It is embarassing for us that the text is shown in Russian for users who are using English or Finnish version of the site.

Please fix also bad translation in the Finnish version. "Ladata" (large button below the headings) should be "Lataa" in this context.

Importance

Moderate. My app's user experience is affected, but still usable.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue from the en-us and fi-fi WebView2 pages, selecting “Evergreen Standalone Installer,” and confirm whether the license appears in Russian. Check the locale-specific download content and verify that English and Finnish display correctly, with the Finnish button reading “Lataa” rather than “Ladata”.
