You only need "fiddling with language settings" if you want something other than how your operating system is configured.
- cmg 8y agoGoogle actually did this at one point. I was in the Netherlands when I signed up for Google+. I don't speak Dutch and hadn't changed any of my language settings - the only way they knew was via my IP address. The UI was mostly in English, but all my circles (or whatever they were called) were named in Dutch.
- JoeMalt 8y agoI get the weirdest language bugs with Google: - The info box on the right hand side of the search results intermittently shows up in German - A suggested event (a football match) in the UK (where I am) had both team's names transliterated into Cyrillic - An airport on Maps consistently shows up in either French or Finnish (or both!)
