I have a phone with a Spanish Sim, but when I’m abroad, I still get websites redirect me to the Spanish version, when I’d prefer to see the local one. This happens even when I’m on WiFi, but I’m guessing it’s something to do with my Sim?
Does anyone know how they do this, and if there is a way of overriding it?
What browser are you using? What do you do to stay private?
Probably you have cookies set ragarding your language preferences for the sites you browse on a regular basis, at least.
I’m using Firefox with ublock and I have it in private mode by default
Android or IPhone? My guess would be the OS of the phone was set up with your home country, you may be able to switch it manually?
this 👆
not the country, but your default language for your OS or your app
Main language is English, and I’m running calyxos, so if any os can change it, this one must be able to
This might be imposible to override
I noticed similar things but never on wifi. I have used an Austrian sim card in other EU countries, and whenever I connect to a VPN server with the “Fastest” profile, it will connect me to an Austrian server every time.
I guess it makes sense but I still don’t fully understand why local servers aren’t considered faster. Anyway I never had an issue with wifi. Maybe you aren’t actually connected to the wifi somehow?
El tuyo telefono es espãnol porque habla con la sim. Es claro tu quieres cambiar operator de tu idioma por haces el idioma que te gusta. (Thanks duolingo).
Es obvio que necesitas practicar más porque no entiendo nada
