How to change the language back to English?

Locked

Discussion interactions are currently paused.

A few weeks ago, eBay in its infinite wisdom decided that its better for me, because I live in Czech Republic, and even though I don't speak Czech, to switch many modules (but not all) to Czech instead of English as I've always had it. This is annoying because now I need to hit the Google translate button at times to understand what I'm looking at and Google translate is not particularly good at Czech to English translation 🙄

I've tried looking everywhere in the settings on how to switch it back, but I've found no way to do that; I've tried to even change my delivery address to show that that I am in the US, but that did not help either.

Any idea?

I too have the same problem with Czech language in my .com account. Living in Prague for 30 years, my language skills are fine; the Czech translation engine on eBay is pretty bad. Besides, I've had this account, which I opened in CZ for more than 18 years in English. Why are you localizing language and not offering options instead???
