Has anyone else, recently, started receiving a Greek-language version of the (apparently weekly) mailshot from [email protected]?

I'm at a loss as to why they suddenly seem to think I've switched from English to Greek. I thought last week's was just a fluke - is it just me?

(Yes, I know there is a link at the top to switch between Greek and English...)

NWIFlyer

Yes, and I thought exactly the same thing. As far as I can see there's nothing in my preferences that would cause me to get the Greek version, although given I'm a member of a Greek FFP, I'm hardly in a position to complain too loudly!

In any case, it still makes more sense than the Hilliergrams I get each month from BA ...

Still English for me, at least todays mailing was.

Mine came in Greek so I unsubscribed! Couldn't find a way to change the language.

I get both doesn't bother me either way Im sure an email to M&B will correct it ^

Knobbgb

I get both too, usually a few hours or a day apart. The Greek one comes first so I see it as a challenge - see how much I an understand and then correct myself when the English one arrives.

I received the following email from A3 on 2 August. While it's a fun way to pratice my extremely rudimentary Greek (I've also run it through Google Translate) it seems odd to me that there is no link on the top for a more accurate English version like there usually is on the ads they send out.
Am I missing something?

Τις τελευταίες μέρες, παρατηρείται ιδιαίτερα αυξημένη εναέρια κυκλοφορία αλλά και συμφόρηση κυρίως των περιφερειακών αεροδρομίων της χώρας μας, μεγαλύτερη από τα συνήθη εποχιακά επίπεδα. Έτσι, παρά τις προσπάθειες που καταβάλλουμε, προκαλούνται καθυστερήσεις στις προγραμματισμένες ώρες διενέργειας των πτήσεων μας. Συνήθως οι καθυστερήσεις αυτές είναι μικρές τις πρωινές ώρες αλλά γίνονται μεγαλύτερες τις απογευματινές και βραδινές πάρα την χρήση των εφεδρικών αεροσκαφών που διατηρούμε για την αποτελεσματικότερη λειτουργία μας . Γνωρίζουμε ποσό ανάγκη έχετε την καλοκαιρινή σας ξεκούραση και ποσό σημαντικό είναι να φτάνετε στον προορισμό σας με άνεση και ακρίβεια, γι’ αυτό και θέλουμε να σας διαβεβαιώσουμε ότι καταβάλλουμε και θα συνεχίσουμε να καταβάλλουμε κάθε δυνατή προσπάθεια για να αντιμετωπίσουμε το φαινόμενο αυτό, μαζί με τις αρχές, με τον καλύτερο δυνατό τρόπο τις επόμενες ημέρες.
Ζητούμε την κατανόησή σας και σας ευχαριστούμε για την εμπιστοσύνη που μας δείχνετε όλα αυτά τα χρόνια.

I suspect KLouis' translation might be rather better than the one from Google Translate ...!

It does appear you've fallen into the rather nasty trap from which escape is completely random. For some months now, you can expect all newsletter and e-mails in Greek and duplicates to arrive a few minutes later.

Just before you reach the point where you can take no point and are about to unsubscribe, the missives will magically revert back to your specified language which you've never changed in your settings. There will be no rhyme or reason for this, and it could equally move back to Greek at any moment.

irishguy28

That has not been my experience....I'm still getting Greek emails 5 months on....

NWIFlyer

Ah, that's because you haven't reached the unsubscribe point yet ...

I think my period was about that, then a couple of months ago everything started coming through in English again.

KLouis

Sorry pals, I'm vacationing on a God- and tourism-forgotten island in the middle of the Aegean where the Internet is only accessible on the... terrace! As it is rather hot in the sun at this time of day, and I have more important things to do from late afternoon on (a four-letter word starting with o, ending with o and one z next to one of the o's), I'll refer you to justforfun's excellent summary of that PR email.

I'll start responding to posts from Monday on, once through with my work backlog!

Bye now, have to run to the beach!

Hi,
I receive almost daily communications from A3 in GREEK (i don't speak this language)... my preferences are english.
It's kind of embarrassing now (even if some of them sounds interesting). Someone knows where i can change this (> english or not receive those emails anymore).
Thanks
