It redirects you depending on your browser language... Maybe a bug! Here is the en version: http://survey.getgrasp.io/en

Redirects me to the DE page as well (and it shouldn't), pretty strange bug.

Where are you from? Maybe you can give me your browser lang code from http://aruljohn.com/lang.php That would be great :)

You probably redirect based on the first found locale. Most Dutch users browser with an accept language similar to "nl,en-GB;q=0.8,en;q=0.6,en-US;q=0.4".

If you only match on the first ("full") locale and not paying attention to the lower q-valued locales, you might think English is not accepted and you will redirect to your (default?) German site. It's a pretty common bug in locale detection systems (as I designed a few ones myself) :)
