Help.................... I have two Google email addresses and today they have both "gone Greek" Obviously the actually names are OK but everything else is Greek. Any idea how I can change it, or do you think I have downloaded a virus. Nothing else that I have discovered yet, has been affected. Thanks

A lot of websites/on-line software think they're clever because they "know" where you are based on the (IP) address of your internet connection.

A lot of ours in the TRNC will be identified as Nicosia and so we're presumed to be Greek speakers. Ergo the language we're presented with is Greek. You may have seen this especially with Google searches displaying ads in Greek.

For your immediate problem this might help:

Will give it a go. As I said, its just the address book on one of my addresses, nothing else affected and happened over night. Will revert back.

Well, its a mystery. Just like one address book turned Greek overnight, it has totally reverted back to English overnight, without me doing anything. Thanks for your suggestions though.
