I have explained everything to you above thoroughly. The user on an ongoing basis refers to the help in HIS language.
But when there is a need to get acquainted only with new features, he has to read English or German help.
And you kill this opportunity when switching the language. This is harmful to users of other languages. You slow down the familiarization process, the user has to spend time reopening the help in the right place.
What's more, you still haven't done the requested switch between German and English help on the right page.

I often switch the language for efficiency tests and comparison with work in other languages. At the same time, I read the help in English or German. I want to continue reading it in the process of changing languages and open any pages I need from different dialogues. This is important for usability.

Overquoting is evil! 👎
