Being sold by Amazon US. Wonder what WD would say...

German Translated to English:

WD Red Pro

OK, that makes sense but why is Amazon US translating a product name to German?

That page is a United Arab Emirates page. Designated by the " www.amazon.ae " Notice the ae. Not German but poorly translated Arabic to English and they ended up using german words Rot for Red and Interne Festplatte for Internal Hard Drive.

To the right of the search blank on the web page you linked you will see the UAE Flag with a dropdown where it is designated as English.

I fail to see the connection between UAE and German.

As I stated POORLY Executed translation to English. Look at the page as I instructed above.

OK I get what you are saying but seems their software team is sleeping at the wheel. (That's a song! Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!)

Hopefully some Amazonian lurking here will be inspired to wake them up.
