I'm not sure what's the protocol for this kind of stuff (I'm not blind), but, your website being directed at blind people, wouldn't it be better to be set english as the main language?

It should pick English or Italian depending on your browser language. If it does not, then it's a bug. I'll look into it

Using Firefox 49.02 auto detect of language does not work. I'm using Jaws and assumed it was a bad language tag before I turned auto detect of language off.

I have my OS and browser set to English and am browsing from a Dutch IP address. I get the Italian page. Not sure which part of "Accept-Language: en-US,en" (which Firefox sends) is unclear.

Edit: oh there is an English button in the right top. Only saw it just now (a flag might be more colorful to spot).

I have a similar setup: OS and browser set to English from brazilian IP address. I got the italian page as default.

And I also took some time to find where to change to english.

It would only be better if they're targeting English-speaking blind people.
