I remember reading someone on Google Forums ranting and raving that Google's homepage showed up in Arabic when he opened his laptop in a hotel on the way to his deployment in Kuwait...
I wonder if logged-in accounts still do that, it's incredibly lazy to think "Oh, this American user is in Iceland [just to pick a more obscure country], let's assume, instead of a traveller, that she's a dual English-Icelandic speaker! (and yes we assumed if she was in America she spoke English, not Spanish!)"
- cratermoon 3y agoWhat's really fun is when traveling in Europe. A Spanish-speaking person visiting Belgium, for example, would want the maps to show directions in Spanish, except sometimes it would be nice to see street names in the local language so they can be matched up with street signs. But wait, what's the local language in Belgium? What if you're in Brussels? Fun times.
