Hi.

I live in France but it hasn't been long since I moved here so I don't speak french that well , and my chrome when I open different websites they switch automatically to the french version like Nvidia's website.

my web browser is in English and my gmail account is in English as well , so how do i change these sites back to their original language?

Really, there's not much you can do. Make sure your browser language preference is set to English. A lot of sites select the language based on your IP geolocation (meaning, estimating your location based on your IP).

The most reliable way: a VPN

 

But of course there are ways to get the website in another language of course.

Most websites (including Nvidia's) have a country/language selection tool. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the right it should have a country there (probably "France" in your case) and if you click it, you can choose another country/language.

But how a website handles this, depends of course.

 

Sometimes you can change the URL of the website too, but some websites are kind of annoying and change you back to your 'correct' language.

Most websites use a similar format, where the URL has the language and country code in the URL.

Nvidia.com example:

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/

en = English

us = United states.

So for you that probably says 'fr-fr'  (French - France).

On some websites you can simply change what it says there (e.g. to en-us, en-uk, etc.) and you have the website in another language. But sometimes it just changes it back, depends on the website.

 

Hope that helps a bit!
