For the last couple of months, some of the menus on the Seti@Home web page have been in Chinese (in fact, all of the prompts on the page I am currently on are in Chinese). Is this something I did accidentally or, better yet, how do I fix it?

If you use Firefox this message may be of help, or maybe this thread if it's IE. Seems to be happening to a few people, with different results for some.

As explained in the second thread above, it occurs in any browser on any OS as long as you have more than one language in your browser's preferred language settings. The only fix at the moment it to remove other languages from the browser settings, which of course causes inconvenience at other websites.

Please have a look here for a solution.

The solution should re-allow you to select "English" as the default language.
