Figured it out! Something about that "Accept-Language" header string was causing Evernote's server code to redirect me to french. When I deleted all the entries except for en and en-us, it worked just fine in English. I later set up French again, but further down the list, with a new string of "Accept-Language:en-us,en;q=0.8,en-ca;q=0.6,fr-fr;q=0.4,fr;q=0.2", which also worked. I suspect there's something about Evernote's language detector that chokes on "Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,en-ca;q=0.8,fr-FR;q=0.7,fr;q=0.6,en-US-x-Hixie;q=0.4,en-in;q=0.3,it-IT;q=0.2,it;q=0.1"... I have no idea why such a complicated language setting was in my Firefox by default. The language settings were in Firefox Preferences / Content / Choose Languages if anyone else has this problem.

I'm aware at the bottom of the page there's an option to change the language (and that English is the 5th item on that list), but it doesn't stick after I close my browser. If I go back to http://evernote.com/I'm redirected to the french language url.

Mr Blue, can you be a bit more specific as to which item you're trying to select (even if the text is in French?) My sixth menu item in French is "Blog". Maybe the URL where this setting is would be helpful?

Ironically, that link redirects me to https://evernote.com/intl/fr/contact/support/ Being Canadian and having learned French in high school, I'll take the bullet and submit this!

Locale switcher has no effect. I'm guessing somehow the web server assumes my "Accept-Language" is French, even though en-US and en-ca should trump the other languages listed.

No VPN, no proxy, and https://evernote.com/ redirects immediately to https://evernote.com/intl/fr/ Here are my request headers: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: evernote.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,en-ca;q=0.8,fr-FR;q=0.7,fr;q=0.6,en-US-x-Hixie;q=0.4,en-in;q=0.3,it-IT;q=0.2,it;q=0.1 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Cookie: _ga=GA1.2.707936924.1417119819; __utmx=154036204.2THornV-TuqQeKHLa3aTvA$0:2.3fcZ8PFPQH--XivfKK0ReQ$0:2; __utmxx=154036204.2THornV-TuqQeKHLa3aTvA$0:1417120648:8035200:.3fcZ8PFPQH--XivfKK0ReQ$0:1421101024:8035200; language=1; member_id=244396; pass_hash=92aa859cdb12924cdb71daaafab7db15; rteStatus=rte; _gat=1; session_id=f3a361f762c40e6e5e6d07961cfbcb00 Connection: keep-alive Here are the response headers from the server...

Hey everyone. If I attempt to access the evernote home page in my browser, I'm instantly redirected to: https://evernote.com/intl/fr/ and the entire page is in French. This only happens when I use Firefox. When I use Chrome, the page comes up in English. I thought perhaps the language settings were messed up on my browser, but if I visit http://mybrowserinfo.com/detail.asp?bhcp=1, it verifies my browser is properly configured for English: Language: English System Language: Not detectable with this browser User Language: en-us Once I log in, the site is properly in English. I can change the language at the bottom to "English (US)", which takes me to an English page at the following URL: https://evernote.com/?noredirect But it's not a permanent change. Any ideas what might be going on here? Why does Evernote's home page insist I'm French?
