Original Post — Direct link

I can get by in Spanish and with Google Translate I was always able to navigate it. Now, I reset my password and everything is in German

.

The website is also in German now. I can't read German, so this is a problem for me.

I have tried clearing my cookies and cache but the problem always re-occurs. I have never signed in from another country or used a VPN while signing in.

The issue only appears on Google Chrome. It also appears on Incognito windows even while I'm not logged in.

The issue does not happen on other browsers. Does anybody know what's up with this? Is this a runescape setting somewhere or is it a browser setting somehow?

EDIT: Solved, thanks for pointing out my incompetency everyone.

Hey /u/Insaniaksin! Like another user has said below, you can add `?set_lang=0` at the end of the link to reset it back to english, or click the bottom right flag icon.

As to why it happened, I'm not sure, but here's a possibility: did you maybe click on any RuneScape link at some point, and didn't realise that this link contained a language swap? Example, clicking this link

https://www.runescape.com/game-guide/beginners-guide?set_lang=2

would set your language to French, and then anytime you visit any of our domains, it would be in French, even without the set_language bit. It could be a little more subtle than that too, as we have another way to change the language (which is the more common standard in web), using `/l=3/` (that's a lower case L). Example:

https://www.runescape.com/l=3/game-guide/beginners-guide

That would also set your language to French. And it might be you have a link saved in your browser autocomplete that includes that small language code. Did this help understand the reason?

Oh, btw, it's Portuguese, not Spanish, haha.
