en.btdig.com now defaults to Korean #90

Description

@yemaozitw

I am using en.btdig.com from Taiwan. Until recently this page was in English. Recently it changed to Korean, and the languages pull down menu in the lower right only has choices for Korean or Simplified Chinese (which sensibly redirects to zh.btdig.com) and not English. Please fix so that en.btdig.com is in English again and use Korean on a separate Korean page. I tried connecting over VPNs for various English speaking countries but due to issues #88 and #89 most of those redirect to random pages. The countries I tried where btdig still works all use Korean on the English page.

Thanks, that at least get Traditional Chinese which is easier for me to read than Simplified Chinese, but it still isn't English. I see Vietnamese and Bahasa have also been added since this bug report, so I'm hoping that restoring English is coming???

I doubt it. Maybe as a paid feature. The English localization attracts people who only know English, along with all the issues that come with them (copyright, child pornography, ...). According to SemRush, over 90 per cent of visitors are from Asia and Latin America anyway, so dropping Western languages seems like a logical decision.
