This may very well be outside of the control of the browser. I don't know for |
| 11 |
sure how it works, but as I understand it, websites *can* determine your |
| 12 |
location (or try to) and adapt themselves accordingly. For example, I'm in |
| 13 |
northern Germany and in the past I would sometimes get the dutch localisation |
| 14 |
of youtube, and IMDB always shows me the terrible German titles of movies, even |
| 15 |
in links in English comments. That's just bad website design, at least in |
| 16 |
my opinion. |

Actually, after I wrote that, I decided to look in the Firefox settings, and |
| 19 |
presto: you can set the preferred locales for websites (under the "content" |
| 20 |
tab, or whatever it's called in English)! That fixed IMDB for me, maybe it'll |
| 21 |
work for you? |

I don't think you've answered this yet: is this the only situation where you |
| 24 |
get the wrong locale, or does it happen in *native* applications, too? |
