I've been noticing that Google is serving me mostly Spanish ads, and it's super frustrating! I even realized that when I use the "sign in with Google" feature, the default language is set to Spanish. I've gone through every setting I could find and nothing appears to be set to Spanish. To give you more context, I did find a setting that had English and even GREEK listed, which is baffling since I've never engaged with anything Greek-related. I'm just left wondering what's going on here!

Hey! First off, where are you located? If you check your IP location using something like whatismyip.com, it should say where you are. If it’s showing up as a Spanish-speaking country, that might explain the ads. Also, if you have a browser extension, it might be messing with your location too. You could try using incognito mode or a different browser to see if the issue persists.
You might want to check your language settings. Make sure they’re correctly set to your desired language and region. If you’re not on Windows, just look for your system settings on whatever OS you’re using. It might help clear up the confusion.
Sounds like it might be time to download Duolingo, haha! But seriously, it could be a language setting that slipped through the cracks. Have you checked your Google account settings for preferred languages? Sometimes there can be defaults set that don’t match what you’re expecting.
I totally get where you're coming from! My daughter's Google account thinks she's a Spanish speaker too. It’s incredibly annoying – every page translates everything from Spanish to English. I tried setting everything to English, but it still defaults to Spanish. We're located in the Midwest US, so it's not just you.
