|
|
I use both Explorer and Fox, but at times when I go to a webpage it displays in Korean not English, even though I have clicked on the English version before I go to the webpage.
An example of this is the New Zealand airlines site for Korea. You go to a webpage they have for New zealand, then go to the world sites they have, then click on the English version for Korea...it always goes to Korean for me. gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I hope there is a simple fix, so if anyone knows please tell me and I will try it. |

You could make sure your location settings in the control panel are set for another country. If that doesn't work, a more complicated solution is to hide your IP address or set it to another country so that websites think you're not in Korea.
Sounds like too much bother? I think so too, that's why I've learned to live with it. Part of being here. |

Try this:
http://thefreevpn.com/
You'll be connected to the Internet through a server located in the US or (I think) Britain. Fast and hassle-free (so far, anyway), if perhaps a security risk. |

Thanks, for the info I have tried some of the suggestions at work, and will try again at home.
Work computer...
Have already set the country to the US long ago, but the language recognition of code is set to Korean...? I can not change the one at work, but will look at it at home.
The VPN would not load properly, and did not run. But, will try at home next.
I did change the web page to .com/ncr, it just went to a no such page info.
This could turn into one of those ggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr things that we all have faced before.
Thanks again and if anyone else has an idea, please let me know. |

This only works for Google. Anything past the first slash on any site is always local to that site. |
