I think this is not a "bug" on the page but a "feature" Google thinks is cool (sorry guys - I have ranted enough about Google sites - not only SU - constantly trying to decide what language pages I shouldsee instead of what I'd like to see; as if we were illiterate in other languages than our native ones).

If you switch to the English sites first, you should be able to end up at the English (thus SU 7) download page at some point.

I second that rant!

Hi Gaieus, hi folks.

When I go to the page :http://www.sketchup.google.com, I am presented with a page in French.

Then I use the pull down list at the upper right corner to switch to English.

I am presented another page, in English.

On this page I press the Download button and I am presented with the page, in English, where you have to give your name, phone number, E-MAil, etc.

When I finish filling all these fields, I press the button at the bottom of the page entitled "Agree and download".

I am presented with a page in French and a message is given about downloading SU 6.

Again, I use the pull down language list to switch back to English and I am presented with the page :http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/download/.

Back to square one.

In conclusion, it do not work. Neither on my work PC or my home Mac which uses OS X in French.

Best regards.

Seems there was always the same : French version is updated some months after the start of a new version

Localization: US English, no language settings
O/S: Windows XP Pro SP-3
Browser: Firefox 3.0.5
Browser Add-ons: /FindBar/, Better Gmail2, BugMeNot, ColorfulTabs, Colorzilla, Download Embedded, Download Statusbar, DownThemAll!, Firebug, FireFTP, Flagfox, Flashblock, Foxmarks, Gmail Space, IE Tab, Leet Key MeasureIr, NoScript, Remove It Permanently, Text Formatting Toolbar, Web Developer, WOT.

I can't download SketchUP free edition from Google when using Firefox. I even tried enabling all scripting through NoScript Add-on, and made sure nothing was blocked or removed from my Add-ons. I can download it with IE, though.

Screencaps:

Anyone else run into this problem? I'm going to try booting Firefox in safe mode with no extensions to see if anything is messing with it and will report that here.

Hi John,

Thanks!

That's it!

I saw you reported it on the US EasyList forum a well - special thanks for it, too (I seconded your report there).

I thought the lists where all the same, just different locations. apparently I was wrong...
