This made a bit clearer to me what it actually does.

P.S.: What is going on with the submitted site? For me, it is a mixture between English and (machine-translated?) German, and a lot of images are 404


The images are all broken because they're using relative paths when they should be using absolute paths. Example:

    <img src="img/moi/font-awesome-fa-users.png" alt="FontAwesome users icon">
This should be:

    <img src="/img/moi/font-awesome-fa-users.png" alt="FontAwesome users icon">
Note the slash in the src field. The image exists at the absolute path of https://webmaker.org/img/moi/font-awesome-fa-users.png but not at the relative path of https://webmaker.org/localweb/img/moi/font-awesome-fa-users....

All the images are like this. Whoever made this site kind of dropped the ball.


They are probably trying to localise the site using GeoIP. IT could be a problem if you're using a proxy like Tor.


If they had a proper German version that would be ok, but it gives me a hodgepodge of German headlines and some other bits and English main texts.


"Fontawesome users icon partner with us". That's four nouns in a row - what does this sentence actually mean?

Edit: Oh, "Fontawesome users icon" is alt-text for an image that didn't load, and the button text is just "Partner with us". Got it.
