Some language negotiation methods don't work when the page-cache (for anonymous visitors) is enabled, but this is never explained in the interface. It took me a while to figure browser detection doesn't work with page-cache, for instance. Yet looking into the source code, I saw this fact was stated explicitly.

slightly related: #1833022: Only display interface language detection options to customize more granularity

We might as well start with a small patch to add a helptext note about caching. Maybe include a link to ... a doc page or a readme. The approach might change, but the patch will be a good start for conversation.

adding help text more of a task.

the added words make sense and are grammatically correct.

this detection page is a known sore spot, and difficult to understand. but this small patch seems ok on it's own.
