Home page in foreign languages
When I opened Palemoon just now it opened the Home page in a foreign language. How do I set it back to English?

The default home page start.me?
This might be caused by false geo location data.
You can try to use https://palemoon.start.me/uk as a home page. This should directly open the English page.

Re: Home page in foreign languages
Thank you for answering. I tried your uk and when I clicked on the palemoon home page it opened in foreign language. I believe it is in Greek but what do I know. If I copy the words to text or to DuckDuck it is translated back to English. I am dual booting both W10 and Ubuntu 20.04 with Palemoon 29.1.1. Palemoon home page opens in foreign language in W10 also.Pentium4User wrote: ↑2021-03-31, 19:49The default home page start.me?

Re: Home page in foreign languages
What happens if you open https://palemoon.start.me/uk via you URL bar?
I tried it with different countries, it worked.

There are two ways.
1) Tools -> Preferences -> Content tab -> Languages (Choose button)
2) https://duckduckgo.com/settings
Select language.

I can confirm:
Server error.
Copying the gibberish and pasting to a text file pastes in english, not gibberish.Server error.

Only the server Admin can fix it.

Re: Home page in foreign languages
Here it is ... I did not understand first.
http://www.palemoon.org/pagestyle.css
Incorrect font "ModernWakandan".
Turn off "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" as a workaround.

Not at all. Can't leave the people down-under missing out on the Jester's Festival, now can we?
