This does not happen with any other chromium based browser

My phone locale is set to Italian with English as second language. IP address is Italian. I’m not understanding why sites like f-droid, Google dev documentation, gitlab, are all defaulting to Chinese as I can’t read it…

Sometimes I can find a link to switch back to either English or Italian, but the next visit they revert to Chinese…

    Now what to do… It’s impossible to contact Google to fix their implementation of language detection…

    Your browser just sends the headers and doesn’t do any detection by itself, besides having a list of ‘locale to locale strings’. It’s possible that the 2 hyphens go against the official local spec. But from what I remember it does seem to be the correct locale string. So the problem would be in the implementation of the websites that display it wrong.
