No matter what I choose from Danish to Chinese - when I log in my report is in German. Which is difficult as I've never had a german lesson in my life.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I guess it could be google trying to guess my location - I'm in Hungary - so Austria is close.

Aside: Why is it that the browser language preference is ignored by every website in existance?

Maybe you're connected to the internet via Austria. Do you see google.com in English? Here in Germany google.com jumps to the German site.

At least you should tell Google about it.

> Via Austria

Yep that's the route which my packets go - interesting that it happened for the first time today. Wanted to check if anyone else was seeing this as well before contacting google.

I can just about use the reports in German now - and I've learnt that Mittwoch is Wednesday ;)

Google.com - Magyarul - in Hungarian

I think the reports are not available in Hungarian and so Google takes the language that's geographically next.

Until this morning the language selected on the form was the language that was used. It's got to be a bug. Changed ip and still have german (despite selecting english).

Also affects adwords - reported bug - followed through german feedback forms - got no idea what option I choose ;) (can't believe I'm the only one)
