Since last week, Proz.com displays in Chinese (I think) on my screen.
This is not something I have intentionally set - I don't speak or read Chinese.
Has this ever happened to anyone else? How do I change the language back to English?

button labeled "English" Jun 24, 2025

Look at the bottom of the screen – on the right you’ll find a button labeled "English"

Click the button, and the site interface will switch to English.

Thanks, Andriy!
My button was labeled "Chinese", but fortunately this was written both in characters and in letters.

Hi, Marjolein and Andriy!

Thanks, Andriy, for stepping in to help These spontaneous switches sometimes happen when a user clicks on a link with the localized subdomain (for example, eng.proz.com is English, and esl.proz.com is Spanish), usually when coming from a search engine. However, another user reported the same thing yesterday, so I've given the team a heads up and we're looking into there's some other issue that may be affecting users in general.

Thank you again, Andriy, for your support, and thanks Marjolein for reporting this! Wishing you both a great rest of your week. ▲ Collapse
