My Google Maps language (on my PC) is STILL in Portuguese, but I only happened to be visiting Portugal (for 3 days) when they did the subdomain switch... Every time I change it back to English, it changes the language back the next time I visit the site. It's super frustrating.




Make sure you’re not visiting with a bookmark that includes the specific language code.

I had a similar issue with some history item that would annoyingly point me to the previous version of a page. Only to realize that I was opening a permalink to it.
