Post by: tripredacus on October 02, 2013, 02:22:47 pm: It could be solved if the site used some header info such as:

Code: [Select]
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en" />

Post by: insektmute on October 17, 2013, 03:52:22 pm: I've run into situations w/ Google from time to time where some page or ad or something defaults my language to something else, like Russian, and it'll stick around on other sites sometimes until I clear my histoy and cookies.

I stopped using Chrome for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that it seems to allow through more ad and tracking garbage than it should. Switched back to Firefox and haven't run into the language problem since, and using 64-bit builds (initially Waterfox, now Lawlietfox), it's actually been faster, too.

I added the language to the header and it was still doing it...

after a bit of research I found that Google has their own tag to use:

<meta name="google" content="notranslate">

Added that and problem solved. I also added lang to the html tag per the W3C recommendations.
