Starting this week my Google has been spontaneously changing languages. I type google.com but it takes me automatically to the french site and now japanese site i had to look through the languages to change the interface to english. I ran my antivirus and cleared all my internet files/cookies, but i'm still having the problem.
try a different browser and see if it still happens... there are a couple things that could cause that.
it's happening on IE also, and it happened on another computer as well.steelie34 wrote:

open a command prompt and run a tracert to www.google.com.
do that a few times... if the results are different between traces, then there is something going on with your ISP. is it just google? what about yahoo? are you using tor on these computers?

how exactly do you run a tracert to www.google.com?steelie34 wrote:

and...it's not the same on yahoo.
from a command prompt, type:
tracert www.google.com
it will trace a packet to it's final destination. the results should always be the same... but in your case if it's different, there may be some weird issue with your isp or otherwise. also, check your IP and make sure that isn't changing as well (from a command prompt type ipconfig.) there are some programs out there that mask your IP addy to look like it's coming from somewhere else... google might think your connecting from germany instead of texas based on your ip.
