Title: Blockchain.info site switched to Spanish last night! Anyone else have this prob?
Post by: dmatthewstewart on January 20, 2013, 08:24:47 PM
So last night when i went to log back into my blockchain.info wallet the whole site changed to spanish. I dont connect by using any type of proxy. Did this happen to anyone else? I want to change it back but cant figure out how to do it. I really hope I havent been (or am being) hacked and there is some type of live packet interception going on here. After all there is no reason for it to all the sudden switch to spanish

--Suggestions?

Update. I can get to the English version of the site by adding /en/ after blockchain.info but it shouldnt default to the Spanish or Portuguese site for me

Mine comes up in English without a problem. Maybe try clearing your browser cookies and seeing if that changes anything? Not sure why it would do that.

It set your preference as Spanish, since you clicked on a /es/ link one time.

To fix this, do the following:
1. In the upper right corner, click on the flag.
2. Choose the US flag.
3. ???
4. Profit!

Never clicked a spanish link

First thing I did was click the US flag and it still stayed spanish. Then tried clicking UK flag and back to US and nothing.

You are not alone, someone messed up an array IMO.
I view it in German now.

Alright.  It is a site bug, then.

One time I googled an address and a blockchain.info link came up, I clicked it, but apparently the link was directly to a random non-english language.  Then everytime I went to blockchain.info it was in that language.  Once changing the flag in the upper-right back to the american flag, it went back to english.  They need to put a Canadian flag in the list and append ", eh?" to everything methinks.

The site remembers the last language you view so if you happened to click on a link to the site in another language that language may stick. It should be easy to revert back though.

On the main site the language is changed by clicking the flag in the top right.

For wallets the language is changed by clicking [Account Settings] -> General -> Language.

If the language still won't change clear your browsers cookies and that should reset everything back to english.

Yes, this happens if you enter the site through something like, say, a Google search link that has the site in a diff language... it then sets that as your default..

As some other ppl said, you can change it w/ the flag in the upper right hand corner...  and it definitely is a glitch.

this still happens to me, was this ever fixed?

clicking the usa flag works, but then click on wallet & the next page goes back to Spanish & no flag on that page so I can't see any way to get back to English.  How annoying...

If it were Spanish, I would probably be able to make something of it. But my browsers switches to Chinese on each request to blockchain.info. Also after I "picked a flag in the upper right corner". Annoying...
