Google Chrome/Account stuck on a wrong language

Question

I have a problem with my Chrome browser and my Google Account in general.

Short explanation: pages load in a wrong language - a language, that is not on my language list anymore.

Long explanation: I have had 2 languages added to my Google Account language list (accounts.google.com): English and Polish. I've had that set for a long time and I never had any problems.

One day I changed my Android phone language (which is connected to my Google Account) to Czech. Though, a few days later I switched it back to English.

And that's when the problems started. The Czech language is not listed anywhere - neither on Google Account list, Chrome language list nor on my Android phone, but every time I use Chrome (both on desktop and Android), all websites load in Czech.

I tried everything:

• adding Czech back to a list and removing it
• cleaning Chrome or even reinstalling (it so happened, that I even changed my desktop PC operating system - even that didn't help);
• removing all data from Google Account My History

But the problem still remains - pages load in Czech.

Of course, when I, for instance, login to Facebook it stays in English. It's new pages that annoy me.

This is so unhandy that I was forced to switch to Firefox untill the problem is solved. Any ideas what else I can try?

Solution

I had tried tried contacting Google about this, but they insisted that all my language settings have been reseted. I also had removed the Google account from all my devices (both browsers and phones), but I still couldn't get it to work.

In the end, I wasn't able to do anything -- I just created a new Google account. Nevertheless, thanks to everyone who tried to help me here ;)

Let's not understand the root cause, let's just ignore and wipe everything. Not much of an answer. Put another way, "I have this problem with Windows." Answer: Reinstall OS. Down voting.

This did not work for me. I removed all language references other than English.

I also have same problem, and this is not a solution. It's like i have problem with my phone and you tell me to just buy a new one, this is not problem solving. downvoting
