I'm sorry for the out-of-topic rant:

I got the "we care about your prinvacy" note, in spanish.

What do I have to do to convince the internet that I don't speak fucking spanish? Yes my ip is in spain because I live here.

Is it really so hard for developers in 2018 to realize that IP does not mean language preference?

<edit> And also, stop spoiling spaniards with providing everything translated, this country needs to learn some english

¿Por qué no aprendes inglés?

Latin american here,

I like to read things in Spanish.

pd: give you a break, go to a walk, talk to nice people.

> I like to read things in Spanish.

Cool but kind of irrelevant here. The point is that the website is ignoring the preferred locale requested by the browser and relying on IP geolocation for language. It can be infuriating for persons who do not understand the particular language, and cannot read the content even when they have specified their preference clearly.

My point is that is entitlement.

I browse the site and it defaults to English, and my browser is set to en_US as locale.

How is it entitlement?

This is an american company, so default language is in english. Which I went to the trouble of learning in order to "join the rest of the world", out of my tiny homecountry.

They have their content available in spanish as well, which is great, but I don't speak it (I do actually but I am so sick of it being forced on me)

All I want is the courtesy of letting me choose the language that I want them to talk to me with.

Imagine if someone irl would only speak to you in spanish cause you're latino-looking

Yes but if you were in the US and your locale was es_US, wouldn't it be frustrating if a website that offered Spanish gave you English by default simply because they were not utilizing locale correctly?
