hallo,
for years I have been playing on Bridgebase Online in the English language. as of today, all of a sudden my login credentials appear in the French language, and also when I get on the website all is all of a sudden in French. I do not speak French and cannot play bridge in the French language. who authorized to change this? I did write to support, but I still like to know who made this change. how can this be changed. I tried in "Options" to change back to English, but there is nothing in options. I happen only to live in france, but I do not speak the language.

The web client uses, by default, the language your browser prefers for content.

To override this, you need to pass a parameter, this way:
http://www.bridgebase.com/client/client.php?lang=XX


where XX is the 2 letter code of the desired language, according to ISO 639-1
For english, it would be http://www.bridgebas...ent.php?lang=en

Reason for edit: Fixed ISO 639-1 link

Use en.wikipedia.org instead of es.wikipedia.org.

Fixed the original link, thanks.

Look into the left column, though. There are links for every language where the given content is available.
