I have set Memrise to speak English. My memrise-laptop “speaks” German, probably that is why memrise keeps opening in German?
I dislike the German version of Memrise - dislike this “Du” all over the place - and wish to keep the language English. But Memrise does not let me… keeps speaking teenager German with me…
(at least English seems “oblivious” to politeness; I’d prefer a more polite or at least neutral language, but memrise does not have that on offer)
Of course my Firefox - latest version - is set to delete whole history and cookies when closing. But until yesterday around midday everything was absolutely fine; now everytime when I log in I have a German dashboard, and I have to “speichern/save” English as standard language, every time, with the same result…
thanks!
(p.s. And no, I dont use any translation apps, save for Perapera (Chinese) and the Digital Pali reader)
Hi
I had the same problem a few days ago. I use Chrome not Firefox.
Several times I had to change the language setting to English. But than suddenly … it works.
@Joshua, many thanks, I’ve done that, but the settings last only as long as I mark “allow” that “d10… cloudfront.net” script in my “noscrypt” add-on. That script might be the “culprit”. I know that the script was there long before this issue appeared - never made problems before, even if not allowed…
someone from the staff tinkered with my settings long ago, and for several years it was OK, I saw my memrise in British English. But now the problem reappeared: does nor matter that I’ve set my interface language to English UK, years ago, Memrise is still trying to compel me to use German - the language of my laptop device. Especially on course pages, German suddenly appears all over. Dashboard seems fine. I am using latest (canonical) firefox on an ubuntu fossa device, always in private mode and with ublock and noscript installed. Worked just fine until 3 days ago.
(I dislike profoundly this habit of addressing everybody with “Du”, so i prefer a language which lost long ago the politeness pronouns)
dear @MemriseSupport, could i get an answer: why memrise is changing my UI language constantly - from English (I want it UK English- but since yesterday memrise apparently wants me US, which I do not want) to German and back, and so on and so forth.
