Thomas Kyhn Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Just a small detail. Alamy keeps asking if I want to use the site in German. I'm not in a German speaking country, and I don't use a German VPN. Any idea why Alamy would suggest I use German? (I'll refrain from making any historical references.)

Niels Quist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 This certainly irritates me daily, too. Why doesn't the system learn that I say no every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoug Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) That's strange. I am in Germany and yet it remembers my preference for English. Used to be I'd have to reset it after dumping cookies, but now that's not a problem. edit: It used to be that the main Alamy page would come up in German until I switched it. It would then remain in English until I dumped cookies. However the "Möchten Sie …" message does appear on the My dashboard page, time after time. Given that one is accepting cookies, it would be nice if there were one that remembers the language preference.

Thomas Kyhn Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Strange. If I re-open the browser (not deleting any cookies), I get the "Möchten Sie …" message again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoug Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I wonder if the system and its language make a difference. I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Kyhn Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 I use macOS 10.13.5 in English. So it doesn't look like that's the reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Windows 10 - most often Chrome - but happens also with Firefox f.inst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wherever you are, stick to English. The German translating software can be very entertaining, but is hopeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
