Issue

  • The page of the site should be visible in the default language when the browser back button is clicked.

Steps to reproduce:

1. The default Language Selector template is added to Liferay's Home page and the default language is English (en_US).
2. Navigate from the Home page to some other page; let's say Page1 and select any other language on Page1.
3. Click on the browser back button and the language of the Home page is now seen in the user’s selected language and not in the default language (en_US).

Expected Behavior: When the browser back button is clicked, the previous page i.e. Home page should be visible in the default language (en_US), not in the user’s selected language.

Observed Behavior: When the browser back button is clicked, the previous page i.e. Home page is visible according to the language selected by the user, not in the default language (en_US).
