Canada has better bands than America.

I wouldn't complain.

I'm showing the default as English, which makes sense, because its a UK site. I've often found that choosing languages other then the default causes problems like that -- it'll keep going back to the default. Make sure you're going to the URL above and you should always get English. The other languages will have other endings besides the one above, which is the default index page. :pharaoh:

I've seen MySpace in numerous languages, but again, myspace.com is always an English default. You're either typing in something else or getting re-directed.

I also wonder if the language setting for your computer has been reset? A lot of sites will detect that and act accordingly. But anything that is *just* myspace.com will default to English. Canadian sites use the ".ca" Canada country code. :queen:

myspace mobile always has me in like germany on my phone, and facebook frequently has eastern european ads for me. not sure what causes it.

One big issue is content negotiation. This works well if your browser is set up correctly, but many people don't mess with those settings normally and there are many ways they might be inadvertently changed. I think language preference on a website should be manually chosen, but some web developers prefer the automatic choice by your browser.
