Yes it is actually the correct language. Was afraid I’m gonna see some Hindi letters and get myself lost in translation. But I still prefer English over my native language, gonna change it back. ---

Mine switched to Finnish this morning as well, but I assumed that it was because I live in Finland. Luckily I speak Finnish so I just switched it back to English. ---

Certain parts of the UI don’t change as they are set values like topic categories or topic names; same with the links to the main Wanikani website up top. ---

Mine just switched to Japanese as well. I’m in the U.S., so it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with location. Maybe it’s detecting what keyboards a user has installed or something. ---

Just happened to me (from English to Japanese). I refreshed the page, and it immediately went back to English. I’m in Canada, so I don’t think it’s location, but I do have the Google Japanese IME installed and is my active keyboard. ---

I don’t think it’s to do with IME’s because I don’t have a Finnish IME installed so it’d make no sense why mine went to that. ---

> **[Language Changed to Japanese for multiple users](https://meta.discourse.org/t/language-changed-to-japanese-for-multiple-users/67467)** > > This morning I noticed that the interface had changed to Japanese and I had no idea how to change it back. I assumed I must have somehow pocket switched it on my phone, but then others told me the same thing happened to them. It self corrected... Looks like it’s an issue with a feature Discourse is rolling out that allows the interface to be localized per user. They know it’s misbehaving — hopefully they fix it or roll it back quickly. ---

Oh! This finally happened to me… ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/6/a/6af8e05d6ae60b3f37862c9e5c8b006820651264.jpg) I wonder if it would be useful to the thread over there at meta.discourse to link to this one. I read it, and there was no mention of how/why it’s happening… since we’re discovering here that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. ---

@viet I have another issue that started around the time this happened… I wonder if it’s related. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/3X/b/4/b46c319a1b24b1cfa69c4ec9b3c5f3dc3a568be9.png) I get this error when I try to link to a specific post, either by directly typing in the address, duplicating the tab when at a specific post, or by right clicking to open a new tab for that post. ---

Did it have kanji or kana in the title? There’s an issue where links were redirecting loads of times if they did… they’re already onto Discourse about it! ---
