[Evergreen-general] Evergreen 3.11.0a not properly switching into Czech in the staff client

[Jason Boyer]

Hi Linda. I've looked at this a bit today and can say that it shouldn't have anything to do with that cookie message. It seems like the transition between the Angular (/eg2/) and AngularJS (/eg/) sides of the client doesn't work correctly, but I do see in the browser console "Applying locale cs-CZ" so the cookie is arriving and being parsed as expected, but for some reason isn't taking effect. I'll keep looking but wanted to let you know that I do at least have an idea what it *isn't*. :)

This, according to Mozilla.org, "Means that the cookie is not sent on cross-site requests, such as on requests to load images or frames, but is sent when a user is navigating to the origin site from an external site (for example, when following a link). This is the default behavior if the SameSite attribute is not specified."
