Apparently the website guesses or checks from where I'm logging in and - worse - comes up with a horrible translation effort into what it believes to be German, which is totally creeping me out (even the parts which are already translated). I realize, of course, that this is all still incomplete and will probably get better sometime soon, but - not just in the meantime - I'd really, really, *pretty please* be able to switch to plain English. That way I'll be able to focus on Scratch and on what's being discussed here and not constantly get side tracked into screaming at my monitor :-)

Thanks!

Just remove German from the language list and it should be back to English.
Its the web browser not scratch

Nope, it's happening in every browser.

Oops, you keep editing your post. First you were claiming it's only Chrome, now you're claiming it's the browser and not Scratch.

I am talking about an intentional effort undertaken by the Scratch website programmers to automatically translate displayed contents (not the darned browser, duh) into my locale. It's not a bug, but a misfeature.
