Geez, I hate Google localisation. It NEVER works. It is always off.

I'm sitting in Germany, all my Chrome settings are set to English. Go to the main Nexus blogspot website and its in English. Great. (despite being blogspot.de)

Click on Nexus 10. Its in german. Understandable as I'm Germany. But please respect the browser settings.

Go back and click on Nexus 7, and its in English.

Go back and click on Nexus 4, and its in FRENCH!! Why?!

Click on the expanded memory option on the French page and it goes to the English version of the Nexus 4 page.

This infuriates me no end. This is the single reason why I will not use Google Play. I know that if I buy a book or a movie, the chances of it being in the language I set for the device will be slim. I have no desire to through money away like that.

I'm in France and I'm getting pages in a mix of English, French, and... German! On the same page. (With no way of changing it.)
