I discovered this on the Rust Users forum and was told this was probably your bug. Sure enough, it’s also reproducible here on meta.discourse, so I’ve copy pasted it from my [original post on Rust-Users](https://users.rust-lang.org/t/this-website-blank-when-interface-language-eo/14382/1):

> In the settings for my original account on this forum, I set my interface language to Esperanto. Ever since, the website is blank when I’m logged in to that account – the title bar loads, and _view source_ shows a bit of html with some javascript, but the page appears entirely white. I have tried it in: Firefox Nightly on Linux, Firefox 56.0 on Linux, Firefox Nightly on Android. The only way I can get back to this forum is by deleting cookies to log out from that account. I hadn’t used the account for anything yet, so it’s no real loss if I can never get back in to it, but I don’t think Esperanto should be a language option if choosing it means banishment 😃.

I see there are some other bug reports here with the same observable behavior, but those are all fixed, so I guess this has a different cause.

Esperanto is currently not a supported language. So, this is definitely a bug since it shouldn’t even appear in the list of available languages.

BTW: If you want to improve the Esperanto translation and get it into core, head over to [Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/discourse/discourse-org/language/eo/) and help your fellow Esperanto translators 😉

OK, no more Esperanto for now. I [removed the invalid locale file from discourse-adplugin](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-adplugin/commit/639edd4494e6ed530a926fbd280b0a22ae76feb1) that was causing the issue and it’s now deployed to all our customers.
