    If you mean here at WGT.com, then perhaps you need to select the correct language option at the bottom of the page. 'EN ES FR DE'.

    Okay then, try editing the shortcut (bookmark) that you click on for WGT.

    If your current shortcut is for example...

    https://www.wgt.com/home.aspx

    ...try adding the English language query string to the end of it. The English language query string is just...

    ?hl=en

    ...if you want one of the other language options, then just substitute the en for either es, fr or de.

    So, adding the query language string to the end of your shortcut, you get this...

    https://www.wgt.com/home.aspx?hl=en

    ...if you then save that as your new shortcut to open WGT it should, hopefully, open the site in English and not Spanish.


    If your shortcut already has a query string at the end, for example...

    https://www.wgt.com/forums/TopicsActive.aspx?ForumID=-1

    ...then the language option needs to have an ampersand at the front instead of a question mark...

    &hl=en

    ...then you can just add that to the end of the shortcut that already has a query string...

    EDIT : Perhaps I should have suggested clearing your browser cache to see if that would fix it, before doing the above.
