which includes instruction to go to https://secure-www.novell.com/selfreg/jsp/protected/validateEmail.jsp
where i am assaulted ;-) with German text that will NOT translate to understandable English at google..
i don't really enjoy these games..
I think the Novell account pages switch to a language that is preferred by your browser. You could check for example on http://www.ericgiguere.com/tools/http-header-viewer.html if your browser prefers german (accept-language).
In addition, there is a cookie that gives localization information, but I have no idea why that would have been set to German for you. You can test that by going to www.novell.com. On the top right of the page, there is some text that indicates country and language. Just select the button to the right ("Change"), and pick your favorite country and language. That will set the cookie to a language you can understand ;)

http://www.novell.com/de-de/home/ Change page is good for those that understand German :) I changed preferences and language is English. The joke is that it works that way in Chrome that suppose to be clean install, no previous language preferences picked up. The only source of confusion might be my visit to de.o.o and dewiki.o.o, but I visited also other language wikis and language does not change. Now I'm in Firefox and login language is English. Konqueror is also on English. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

I changed to ttp://www.novell.com/home/ and ttp://www.novell.com/en-en/home/, and in both cases I get redirected to de-de in German - although it greets me by name, and the database should know where I'm from. And my browser preferred language is not German. German is not even in the list. This is a bug at Novell. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

There is Change button at the top that leads to page in German where you can set language and country.
And my browser preferred language is not German. German is not even in the list.
It shouldn't be in my case too, but ...
This is a bug at Novell.
Seems so :) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
