I'm having a problem with Google trends: it keeps coming up in what it looks like Chinese. I tried to eliminate several potential causes:Signed out of my Google account -> still in Chinese.Signed in with a different account -> still in Chinese.Deleted all of the cookies -> still in Chinese.Checked that my IP is not geolocated in China -> it's geolocated in the US.I'm using Firefox 19.0.2, but when I try with Chrome it works just fine and Google Trends shows up in English. Any ideas what might be happening and/or how to fix it?Here is what it looks like:

try clicking this link, it may fix your problem:http://www.google.com/trends/?hl=enWhat happens is this: Google saves a state of your current language in their servers. They probably use this to customize ads for you.This ?hl=en parameter tells Google you prefer a different language (English in this example). It works across all their services.
