    Default Help - My browser is showing Woodwork Forums totally in Portuguese

    Everything I see on the Woodwork Forums has been converted to Portuguese. I can't read Portuguese, and I don't want it.

    It happened today when I was Googling for something and a WWF thread had some info (in English). So I clicked through and it turned out I was in a Portuguese mirror site. Since then, WWF only starts up in Portuguese. Is there a cookie or something that I have to delete? Where?

    Somehow or another the auto translator in vBulletin got switched to Portugese, don't worry it won't cost you any extra!

    To fix, go down to the bottom of the forum screen, you will see some flags there, click on the English one and you should now be able to read the forum again.

    Sorry, we can't translate Portugese to Australian!

    At least it shows the translations weren't a complete waste of time and they are working somewhere.....

    Elementary my dear Watson.

    Big Shed anticipated that, posted the above for public consumption (just in case anyone else has that problem in the future) and then sent a PM (in plain English) to Gunnaduit.

    But you already knew that, didn't you?

    Nah, I figured he might have used Google translate or summink.
