Diego T. Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Hey guys I have a weird situation here...So I live in the USA and some websites offer the option to display the language based on your IP or the locale of your computer (Enlgish, spanish or whatever)So I use a Wiindows PC with English version installed and I would like the websites to come in english but sites like Microsoft or Filehippo come in spanish and I have to change the language to english??Why is doing this?

Kalju Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 This is in browser settings. In particular, Google Chrome, and Firefox-based browsers want to do that.They want automatically you to use local language, and can be changed, but is not very easy to change. They don't want to allow change, or rather, if you change, you will get a second language, but after a restart, this may be changed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Personally, I prefer to have one singular language — have now done away with the multilingual installers (not limited to Firefox):— Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
