Suddenly, for no reason, my Gmail accounts reverted to Portuguese. Although I can easily revert it back to English during the session, next time I go to my Gmail, it's back to Portuguese again. IIRC, I believe I've also seen it revert to some oriental language in the past. None of my other email clients exhibit this behavior (Yahoo, icloud, Protonmail). Any ideas what could be causing this? Might it be some sort of malware? Thanks.EDIT: Disregard. Problem may have resolved itself. :h

I would recommend a change of password next time you connect. REMEMBER this will change your PW for all Google devices like ChromeBooks .

Reverted to Portuguese? Was it set that way before? Did you check the settings. And restart the browser aand if that doesn't work use the frequent cure, a reboot.

One easy solution is to quit using anything Google. ??

You must be in Portugal and your computer is set to detect or on-"allow" current location.

If it persists, I'll take further action. I wonder if there's a way to "re-install" a Gmail account without losing my current address?
