Steam Web-Browser showing up in wrong language

My steam works perfectly fine when I run the application itself, and when I use the steam overlay, everything's fine.

However, for some odd reason, whenever I pull up Steam on Google Chrome, it does not appear in the right language.

I have tested it out on Firefox, which it did not change language until I had logged in.

My settings are set to english, and I'm really confused. I did a quick google search, and I found this link, but it doesn't seem to fix my issue: http://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/810939350993334168/?l=english

What should I do?

Edit: I forgot to mention, I also have my account settings set to english.

That parameter {l=} allows you to change your language preferences.

That can be found here... https://store.steampowered.com/account/languagepreferences/

You may just have another language set on chrome.

Check...

Chrome > Settings > Advanced > Language > Change > English.

Thank you, I checked the first link. That was what my edit was for, I have that set to english.

My browser is also set to english. Steam is the only website which shows up in another language, of which it gets automatically translated to english, which turns out to be a really poor translation and sometimes confusing.

Check your browser plugins, see if anything can really cause this.

Clear your browser's cache and see if anything is different.

I have tried both of these methods, and steam loaded in english. However, when I logged in, the issue occurred again.

I also have my settings set to english in steam, so, I have no idea why it's changing language at all.
