EnglishWhy does burtoncar.com show a language selection page first?
Updated
burtoncar.com opens on a language selection screen because the site serves two language versions—English and French—and asks you to pick one before showing the main content. The page heading reads "Choose your language / Choisissez votre langue," with Français and English offered as the two options. Until you choose, you stay on this entry screen rather than the site's main pages.
What the entry page actually contains
The page evidence shows a minimal gateway: a heading in both languages, the two language links, and a video element (the page notes your browser does not support the video tag, so the video may not play depending on your browser). There is no product catalog, navigation menu, or other content on this screen.
| Element | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Heading | "Choose your language / Choisissez votre langue" |
| Options | Français, English |
| Other content | A video element that requires browser video support |
How to get past it
- Open burtoncar.com in your browser.
- Look for the two language links on the page.
- Click English for the English version or Français for the French version.
- The site should then load in the language you selected.
If the page appears stuck, check that your browser allows the page to load normally—the video element on this screen depends on browser video support, and a browser that blocks or fails to render it may affect how the page displays, though the language links themselves are plain text.
Why sites use this pattern
A language gateway like this is a common design for bilingual sites. It avoids guessing your language from browser settings, which can be wrong, and it makes the choice explicit. The trade-off is one extra click before you reach any real content. The page evidence does not show an automatic redirect or a remembered preference, so each visit may start at this screen.
What this page does not tell you
The available page evidence covers only the language selection screen. It does not describe what Burton Car sells, its pricing, whether an account or login is required, or what the English and French versions contain. Those details would need to come from the pages behind the language links.
