[kobold2]

Hello guys!

I am working through russian ISP so i am getting russian version of "help.ubuntu.com".
But i want the default english version of it.
What should i do to get it back?

Thanks in advance.

I have a French ISP and https://help.ubuntu.com/ is an English page. What browser are you using and have you setup translation of pages that are not in your preferred language ?

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Firefox 28.0 with no addons.

The thing is the head page itself ( help.ubuntu.com ) is showing in english.
But when i am trying to go deeper ( for example: help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/index.html ) it switchs to the russian.

So it turns out that i can't read original documentation.
It sucks, really.

Had a look at Firefox (using Chrome here).

Please have a look at Content > Language item > Choose and see what you have set up there, thanks.

It works!
First i rearranged languages to desired order but that didn't worked. Then i removed all languages except english and bingo! It works!

You just made my day, sir!
Thank you!

help.ubuntu.com contains over 60 languages. As you have discovered, the server returns pages based on your language settings. There are a few handwritten "glue" pages, in English only, that hold it all together. If you want to force a particular page language without changes to your language settings you can manually add the language extension to the address. For example, say I wanted the dutch version of https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu...ash-intro.html then I just ask for https://help.ubuntu.com/13.10/ubuntu...-intro.html.nl
