Fully agree with your sentiment. As someone who spends significant time in four different countries, it gets pretty old quickly.
Google is the most annoying one because the change language setting is not easily findable and typically at the bottom of endless scrolling page. Slack is the worst one, you can't even find the change language option. The best is Apple implementation where it maintains the language but shows a little notification in browser offering you to change location and/or language. Amazon also does pretty decent job.
Twitter and Yahoo! News are also pretty bad. Yahoo! News will start showing the news from the location it last detects and continues to show even after you have left the location and haven't been back at same locations for years. Twitter email is nuisance in itself, and sets up alert for something specific at a location you haven't been back or have any further interest.
- de6u99er 5y agoTotally agree, that google is the most annoying. Recently I realized that the news tab in my TV's YouTube application started to show news in local language. I remember I was able to override the location setting only to realize that the setting still exists but now get's automatically reset by the YouTube application on every start, which makes this setting completely useless. Almost as if the person who is responsible for this setting doesn't talk to the person who does geolocation stuff.
