### Documentation is

- [ ] Missing
- [ ] Outdated
- [x] Confusing
- [ ] Not sure?

### Explain in Detail

Clicking a link in the language switcher dropdown opens the link in a new tab. I'm guessing it's because the links to the per-language subdomains get detected as external.

### Your Suggestion for Changes

Selecting a language should change the location of the current tab.

### Reproduction

### Steps to reproduce
