You just copied the links for the job details pages. But as I already mentioned nothing is wrong with the links.
But instead of a job description the details pages only show the above mentioned error message.

If you can see the job descriptions instead of the error message please provide a screenshot or a copy of the text 🙂

Is that in German, or something? Because everything works for me in English. Nothing comes up 'Sorry, but we can't find that page' which is a forum message.

That is all that I can see when I open the job description links:

Yeah the links work but instead of a job description you can only read "Sorry, but we can't find that page."

All job descriptions link to "Sorry, but we can't find that page." So we can only hope they found someone for the jobs.

The 3D Screenshots under DX11 (CTRL+Print) are not working (no save message and no file is saved).

After using CTRL+Print once, the normal screenshots stop working too.

Under DX9 3D screenshots work without problem and using them doesn't break the normal screenshot function.

The problem was fixed but reintroduced with one of the latest updates 😞

The state of the german localization - an open letter to ArenaNet

Since the start of GW2, the german community and the localization team worked together to find and solve mistakes in the german version of the game.
The localization team responded quickly to reported mistakes, suggestions and feedback from the community.
Errors were fixed and wrong voice lines re-recorded. If something that seemed like a mistake was intentional, they explained why it was translated this way.
We had numerous discussions like the search for a fitting translation for "Novelties" or if a funny (but fitting) german voice line of M.O.X. should be re-recorded or not.
Some word plays and references of the titles, that got lost during translation or didn't make much sense in german, were corrected or replaced by new word plays.
The exchange between the community and the localization team was productive and resulted in a very high quality of the german version.

This was till the middle of 2021 when Sabine Frost (german localization specialist at that time) left ArenaNet.
We hoped that a successor for the position would be found shortly afterwards, but until today no one started to address the newly reported bugs, and ongoing discussions from that time are still unresolved.
Even worse the overall quality of the localization deteriorated greatly since then, which can be seen especially in End Of Dragons.
Starting with the german names of some of the new elite specializations and culminating in walking "(construction) cranes" in Shing Jea or cats and dogs that can be "tamed as a pet" (pet vs to pet).

A look in the german localization forum shows that a part of the community is still active and post new translation mistakes in the hope that they will be addressed someday in the future.

To improve the situation, and bring the german version back to its former quality, it is necessary to find someone as soon as possible, who is reponsible for the german localization and starts to fix the existing errors. Preferable someone who has some connection to the game and not only translates words and sentences in an excel sheet.
Bonus points for someone who is familiar with the first game (Prophecies, Nightfall, Factions and GW:EN) because many names with a reference to GW1 (skill names, locations etc.) are often translated differently.

German Version:

Zustand der deutschen Lokalisierung - ein offener Brief an ArenaNet

Seit dem Start von GW2 haben die deutsche Community und das Lokalisierungsteam zusammengearbeitet um Übersetzungsfehler in der deutschen Version des Spiels zu finden und zu korrigieren. Das Lokalisierungsteam reagierte zeitnah auf Fehlerberichte, Vorschläge und Rückmeldungen aus der Community. Fehler wurden behoben und Dialoge neu aufgenommen. Wenn etwas, das zunächst nach einem Fehler aussah, so gewollt war, wurde erklärt warum es auf diese Weise übersetzt wurde.
Ich erinnere mich an zahlreiche Diskussionen, wie die Suche einer passenden Übersetzung für "Novelties" (= "Extras") oder ob eine lustige (aber passende) Sprachaufnahme von M.O.X. geändert werden sollte.
Einige Wortspiele und Anspielungen bei den Titeln, die bei der Übersetzung verloren gingen oder im Deutschen keinen Sinn ergaben wurden korrigiert oder durch passende Wortspiele ersetzt.
Der Austausch zwischen der Community und dem Lokalisierungsteam war produktiv und resultierte in einer sehr hohen Qualität der deutschen Version.

Das hielt sich bis Mitte 2021, als Sabine Frost (bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt Leiterin des deutschen Lokalisierungsteams) ArenaNet verlassen hat.
Wir hofften, dass die Stelle schnell nachbesetzt werden würde, aber bis heute hat sich niemand mehr um die gemeldeten Fehler gekümmert,
und offene Diskussionen aus dieser Zeit sind nach wie vor ungelöst.
Noch schlimmer ist, dass die allgemeine Qualität bei der Übersetzung seit diesem Zeitpunkt stark nachgelassen hat. Was speziell in End of Dragons zu sehen ist.
Von den deutschen Namen der neuen Elitespezalisierungen über laufende "Baukräne" auf Shing Jea bis zu Katzen und Hunden die man zu "Tiergefährten" machen kann (pet vs to pet).

Ein Blick in das Deutsche Lokalisierungs Forum zeigt, dass ein Teil der Community immer noch aktiv ist und neu gefundene Fehler meldet, in der Hoffnung das diese irgendwann in der Zukunft behoben werden.

Um die Situation zu verbessern und die deutsche Version wieder zu ihrer alten Qualität zurückzuführen, ist es notwendig so schnell wie möglich jemanden zu finden,
der für die deutsche Lokalisierung verantwortlich ist und anfängt die gemeldeten Probleme anzugehen. Bevorzugt jemand, der eine gewisse Verbundenheit mit dem Spiel hat und nicht nur Wörter und Sätze in Exeltabellen übersetzt.
Bonuspunkte wenn derjenige auch mit dem ersten Teil (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall und GW:EN) vertraut ist, denn häufig werden Namen mit GW1 Bezug (Skillnamen, Orte etc.) anders übersetzt.

EDIT:

seems the french players have the same problem:

OH YAY ... pre-emptive nerfs for Dhuumfire because of Harbringer inc. 🙄

Yeah typical ANET nerfing existing skills or traits because it conflicts with their new designed elite instead of designing the new skills so they work with the existing skills and traits.

I hoped for Ritualist as elite spec for the Necro. Theme wise it fits the Necro best.

Yes Revenants also channel their power from the mists and wear blindfolds but Revenants are fighters with heavy armor no scholars.

I really hoped for Ritualist as elite spec for the Necro. With a ritual sword as weapon.

I can't think of any other existing profession which will fit a Ritualist elite spec lore and theme wise better than the necro.

Yes the Revenant also channels his power from the mists and they also wear blindfolds but Revenants are Fighters with heavy armor, no scholars.
