Lufthansa[.com] insists that I've suddenly become Italian

For some reason, the Lufthansa website is now only displaying in Italian when I visit, regardless of which locale (country setting and language) I select. Logging out and logging back in again doesn't fix it. Clearing cookies and clicking "Change cookie settings" at the bottom of the page doesn't help either.

Now perhaps this is a good opportunity to start learning Italian - "Miglia premio" does sound better than "Award miles" and "Avanti" sounds nicer than "Continue" - but I'd rather hoped that I would be able to see the website in English before I attain sufficient mastery in Italiano.

Interestingly, if I use Incognito mode then it displays OK.

Last time in Gdańsk your Italian seemed to be pretty good (whether that was because of the wine non lo so...)

G, I don't even recall saying anything in Italian back then so I guess I must have been pretty drunk by that stage! Who knows how many languages I might be fluent in once I've had enough vino inside me?

Oh dear!

I was reasonably f****d as well but I blame it all to that first bottle of wine (virulent!)

P.S.: you have a PM.

I don't think gibberish after downing a bottle of Italian wine counts as speaking Italian, guys

American Airlines has insisted that I have suddenly become Portuguese for several months now.

My Instagram account gets notices in Russian. I set up the account and was not using it and someone from Russia was able to log into the account. This must have been due to an easy to guess password. I was able to log in and change my password to something stronger. I get notices is Russian ever so often asking if I am having trouble logging in. On Instagram I can't see anywhere to change the language settings. Its probably time to learn Russian anyway.
