Fixed by 3dbe51e9e7. All language configuration should be handled by the Whoogle search home page from now on, the config card on the results page was a leftover element that should've been removed. The Docker Hub image should be updated shortly. Thanks for reporting!

@benbusby thanks for the quick response and fix. But I am somewhat disappointed, since I am having two main use cases:

private stuff --> searching for German results
tech stuff --> mainly looking on English website, e.g. reddit or github

Problem now is, I have to decide and switch based on the decision the main configuration. I thought, it was a really good solution to offer the selection of primary language only and all languages in the results page. What were your intentions of removing it?

The language switcher you were referring to originally never worked in the first place, it was a leftover element of the UI that needed to be removed to avoid confusion. Adding in the functionality you’re seeking would be an entirely separate feature (that hasn’t existed before), which I’m happy to add. I’ll create an issue for it shortly.

This issue was not solved. I have the same issue here using the latest docker image.
