Yandex Browser has been serving me up random websites in Russian for years now. I don't know what algorithm it's using to do so. My system language, browser language and Yandex profile language are all set to UK English and I'm located in the UK. So it's quite a feat of getting it completely wrong, for the browser to still think I might want to see the Russian versions of so many sites!
- aembleton 6y agoIf you go to http://myhttpheader.com/ http://myhttpheader.com/ and look at 'Accept Language' what value does it give? On Firefox I get `en-GB,en;q=0.5`. Maybe Yandex is serving up ru-ru to websites
- Normille 6y agoNope. Accept language[s]are as expected: en-GB,en;q=0.9,ga;q=0.8,es;q=0.7 I could be wrong. This is a complete guess, but my suspicion is that Yandex Browser is doing some very lazy checking of a user's language preferences and defaults to Russian if the visited site is not available in the user's preferred language[s]and user hasn't got 'en-US' defined as a fallback. [My language preference are set to: English UK > Irish > Spanish > English]
