Steam Changing Language....

[D.A.R.K.]

I'm from Brazil but I use Steam in English.

Steam itself it's in English, but Steam Store, Steam Community and Steam Market it's in Portuguese...

I go to settings, it's in Enlgish, I go to Preferences, it's in English, but still it's auto changing to Portuguese.... How do I stop that? I want everything in English without auto changing...

What's wrong with Steam changing language without reaseon?

Same here, reverting back to dutch.

Same here, for Russian (second or third day in row, actually). Something wrong with detection, I suppose.

Around the internet, people are saying this is a problem when you check an item in Steam Market that chances the game, it's something about the item page, something like "?lang=xx" at the end of the URL...

I didn't understand well the reason that causes it, but I still didn't find a way to fix that.

It's not URL issue. It's global, and for Steam client only (I checked browser - it still in English, as it must). It's like client "forgot" language settings, and reverts to default system language.

If I reload Steam client (shutdown and launch again), it works... for several minutes, then falls back to Russian again.

Right now the same http://store.steampowered.com url shows English in web-browser, and Russian in internal client. Without any keys, and same "English" settings in both. :|

Wait... If it changes to default, there's anyway that we set the Default to whatever we want?

That should "fix" this problem, once this change back to default, it will change back to whatever we want.

Basically we will not see that problem occuring since default and what we want it's the same.

Umm, I believe, "System default" is determined by main Windows language pack. And while I am totally comfortable with English Steam, it will be not so handy for full Windows in English. Especially because I am not alone at this PC.

But if you want to experiment, go to language (for my Win10 it's All settings - Time and language - Area and language) and set your main language to English. I believe, it's the same for Win8, and different for Win7 (but essentially it's the same language pack loading, only with different interface).

set it to something else -> save -> set it to what you want -> save.
go:
steam settings -> web browser -> delete cache and cookies.

restart steam

if it is still not fixed, click both with shift+click or middle click:
http://steamcommunity.com/?l=english
http://store.steampowered.com/?l=english

they will open in a new window, do nothing else and restart Steam.

Oh, come on, it seems, you didn't understand the problem. Ok, for your leisure I'll do all your steps.

Let it be Russian, no probs. Save - Russian (everything became Russian, surprisingly). English - Everything became English. Yay!..
...
...
For five minutes. After that every new page became Russian again.

go:
steam settings -> web browser -> delete cache and cookies.

Oh, shortcut! Everything became Russian immediately!

restart steam

Everything is English again. For five minutes (obviously, it's time for storing cached pages)

if it is still not fixed, click both with shift+click or middle click:
http://steamcommunity.com/?l=english
http://store.steampowered.com/?l=english

Five minutes.

Another suggestions?
