Google Browser gone Spanish!

[kestrelx]

I don't know how this happened but when I go into Google it's all in Spanish and some web-sites seem to be translated into Spanish. I don't know how it changed because I didn't change anything!

Does any one know where I go to change it back to English? There must be a way to do this - so please let me know. Thanks.

This makes me suspect someone has been on my computer while I've been on line and changed it!

I live in a flat and so have neighbours close.
To avoid anyone else 'piggybacking' my connection I have disabled the wireless facility on my BT homehub, and connect via an ethernet cable. (I only get 10GB a month, and I want to be the only one using it)

I am the only person with access to this PC so I dispensed with the password sign in, until my son (has an IT degree) told me that without an access password in place it is easier for remote hackers to gain access.

I am wondering if it's google who've put it to Spanish but it does have English words as well - perhaps it's some kind of Spanish promotion?

Mmm it's weird because it's not all in Spanish it's half and half - don't know what's going on here!

Can you speak Spanish ?

 

[MargaretR]

You need to uninstall then reinstall Google.
...or maybe try System Restore if uninstall seems too drastic for you.

 

[kestrelx]

Can you speak Spanish ?

I will be doing soon if this goes on much longer!

Just checked mine and it is in English.

I've gone into the settings and changed them back to English at 2 locations and after saving them - it still comes back to Fffing Spanish! Can't work out why?

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

Have you tried a system restore?

It's only google - everything else is normal so a system restore is a bit extreme! However did you know you can restore google? Well guess what I tried it and it didn't make any difference - so I don't know what this is all about!

 

[Margaret Pilkington]

I would still try a system restore. I don't think it is particularly extreme......unless you want to live with Google in Spanish.

Kes you say Google browser in your first post but do you mean browser or search engine? If it's the latter it will be working in a browser like IE or Firefox so you may have to go back to that to sort things out - just a thought.

Google browser is Chrome isn't it? Sorry don't know anything about that.

Hi Su, thanks for your concern yeh I fixed it now. It was the Google page/search engine - but it wasn't all in Spanish - I've fixed it now anyway eventually!
