  1. Chrome and Edge Display Some Web Pages In A Foreign Language


    For some unknown reason, on my desktop and laptop Chrome and Microsoft Edge display some specific web pages in a foreign language (Sinhala)*. This does not happen with Internet explorer. Its very annoying. I am convinced this has something to do with my Microsoft account because both devices are synced into the same account. Is there anywhere in Windows 10 settings that could make this happen?

    Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a fix?

    Kind regards
    Chris

    *Here is an example of a page that should appear in English but appears in Sinhala

  2. Chrome Headers appearing In A Foreign Language

    When I visit the Fstoppers - Photography News and Community for Creative Professionals with Chrome all the headers appear in a foreign language. My chrome language settings are set to English. This doesn't happen with Internet Explorer. The problem is only for this specific site with Chrome. Does anyone know how to fix this? Your advice would be appreciated.


    Kind regards
    Chris

    Chrome and Edge Display Some Web Pages In A Foreign Language

    Edge on RS1 cannot display a web page while Edge on RS2 ( Insider ) can !

    Thanks for your response.

    To answer your queries,

    • I can access other web sites using Microsoft Edge.
    • I don't have another web browser installed.

    I have another account, a local one ( not MS account ). That account can't display that specific web site, either.

    As I said, I played with settings in Edge and also developer settings by inputting
    about:flags in the address bar of Edge. Nothing works for this web site.

    I remind you this web site changed page layout ( maybe HTLM coding, too ) about two months ago. That is when the problem started.

    I will be glad to hear further suggestions.

    UPDATE ( Mar. 16 ): After installing second-Tuesday patches from Windows update, I hadn't done a browsing data clearing and cache reset because I had done it many times in the past to no avail. Now I have done it one more time and Edge seems to be able to
    display the web page I was complaining.
