Pain

The language selector on the SSW Website is causing inconsistent user experiences. When selecting a language, the behavior varies between translating the page and navigating to a different regional website. This inconsistency can confuse users and disrupt the expected user journey.

Acceptance Criteria

1. Ensure the language selector provides a consistent experience across all regional websites.
2. Decide whether the language selector should translate the page or navigate to a different regional website and implement accordingly.
3. Provide a warning or indication when the user is being redirected to a different regional website.
4. Test the language selector functionality on all regional websites to ensure consistency.

Reproduce Steps

1. Navigate to the SSW Website at www.ssw.com.au.
2. Click on the language selector and select 'China'.
3. Observe that the navigation takes you to the Chinese regional website.
4. Click on the language selector again and select 'France'.
5. Observe that the navigation takes you to the French regional website.
6. Click on the language selector and select 'English' while on the French website.
7. Observe that the page is translated instead of navigating to the English regional website.
