Bug Description
I am a Dutch user. However, for virtually any technical documentation, English is the lingua franca on the web. It is an incredible nuisance to look up technical details in Dutch. I appreciate the effort to make help.ubuntu.com accessible in all languages, however it is a TERRIBLE idea (and quite frankly, since the content is available in English, but I can't access it, I classify it as a bug) to prevent people from changing the language they read it in.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
I expect to be able to read online help files in English.
Instead, I am forced to read them in Dutch.

Hi Alexander. It's the first time I hear such a complaint but I do see your point. I know it's not ideal but you will need to switch your browser's preferred language. I use Chrome and a quick search led me here (it works for me):
