Win 7 HP/IE 9 display wrong language in Youtube

[sewcat7]

None of the other threads seem to match my case. I use Win 7HP and IE 9. All my language settings show English (U.S.), although I have German as a second language in Microsoft Word 10 and in IE 9. I have no language packs installed. When I go to Youtube I get the website in German. It is easy to change to English, but annoying. I have have tried everything I found on the Internet, but nothing changes. I asked also in Windows Forums and in Google Forums. Microsoft people seem to think that Google selects the language, while Google tells me that there is something in my settings, which triggers the problem.

Hi,

Does this problem persist if you try in another browser?

Hi JDobbsy, thanks for trying to help. I only use IE9, because I am mainly using the computer for machine embroidery and some of the websites require IE9. I have always used IE (diff. versions) and I would like to stick with it. I just wonder, how Youtube determines, which language to use. The problem does not happen on other websites. Sewcat7

On the Google search page click on the gear in the upper right corner; on the search settings page click on languages:

Youtube Display Language

Hi roncerr, thanks Roncerr. I just looked at it and I have Automatic, English. So why do I get German sometimes. Sewcat7

I don't know what you mean by "Automatic". Mine just says "English" and there are no check marks in the table below that other than in the "English" box.

Hi Roncerr, The encoding in IE9 has an option Autoselect, Western European (ISO). When I untick Autoselect, I get just English. I used to have English, but somebody on the Microsoft Forum pointed out that Autoselect would might solve my problem. It does not seem to make any difference. Sewcat7

The language choice I was talking about has nothing to do with the browser you are using. It's on the Google Search website, preferences: Preferences . Select "Languages" on the left.

Previously, when I mentioned the "gear icon" in the upper right corner, I was referring to this page: http://www.google.com/advanced_sear...dr=al&source=hp&biw=1258&bih=807&aq=f&aqi=&oq=

You might want to give those websites a go on Mozilla Firefox, just to explore that as an option.

Youtube displaying wrong message

Hi ReviverSoft, I still IE 9 and I do not want another browser just for Youtube. I mainly watch sewing related videos and I just have to change the display language every time. I am still hoping that I can find out, why it happens in the first place. I meanwhile learnt from other users, that some get Asian languages and they cannot overcome the problem either. Sewcat7

Youtube displays wrong language

Hironcerr, mine states English (United Kingdom). I am in Australia and I prefer UK English, if there is no Australian one. I am sorry I did not notice, that you posted this query. I had already checked all Google language possibilities, apart from the Gear. SewCat7 By the way, Google websites appear in English. I only have the problem with Youtube.

Display language wrong in YouTube

Hi again Roncerr, I also noticed under Advanced Search, that my display language is English. I had actually checked all the Google Advance Search before as well. However, I do not want all web pages translated. Sometimes I do searches in German and I want German to be displayed. I do not seem to have a problem with Google only with Youtube. Sewcat7

Youtube displaying wrong language

Hi Roncerr, thanks for how to change the language in Youtube (Wikipedia). I always use this procedure to change into English. Unfortunately, I have to change it every time, I look at a video in Youtube. It is not a permanent solution. However, yesterday I noticed, that when I changed the filter in the Google settings to exclude all sexually explicit content, all of a sudden, Youtube was no longer displaying any German content. I am going to see, if this solution lasts. Thanks for your help. Sewcat7

Youtube is showing wrong display language

Hi Roncerr, I am sorry, if this message displays more than once. I am getting message that I need more than three characters in message and I am not sure, how to overcome this. Sewcat7 P.S. My answer is below.
