First option didn't work for me, but the second one worked great. Thansk for the good info!
ReplyDeletesorry, should have emailed ron. but since everything is japanese here...
ReplyDeletewell, if your trying to change from japanese back to english or german, as i am, its a little worse. everything beyond the google mainpage comes up in japanese, which i dont read, no matter how i change the language in the google settings.

You need to make sure you have the language set in all three locations
for it to stick and if you delete cookies it will revert and you'll
have to do the settings again.
Here are the instructions that you can use even if you can't read the
language being displayed.
Okay, a few things. First, you need to go into your browser settings
and make sure that English is chosen as your preferred language.
Okay, if you are logged into blogger and on your blog's main page, you
can click on the little blogger icon on the left top corner and it
will take you to your dashboard. When you are on your dashboard, you
should see your blog names below and your profile picture and name to
the right. The third bullet down from the picture is the Change
Language link. Click on that and select English and save (English
should be the top one, and Save is the big orange button).
After you save, it should take you right back to your dashboard.
Underneath the title to your blog, there should be a little gear icon
on the right side. The second link is the one for the blogs settings,
click on that. Formatting is the third link over from the left
underneath the settings tab (which should be where you are if you came
from the dashboard). The language settings is the 6th down from the
top of the page. The save button is bright orange at the bottom of the
page.
It is more of a google thing than it is a blogger thing (they think
they are helping you out by adjusting the language based on IP address
but it is supposed to default to your browser's language).

A great help.. It worked like a champ.. I just moved to Korea (USAF) and I thought I was lucky I remember what some buttons were..
ReplyDeleteHow do you configure the rest of the google pages, i could not find a setting in my brower.
thanks

Thank you. That was too easy - I can't believe that option (#2) has been sitting there in front of my eyes all this time.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to have found your help. Cheers.
You're very welcome.
