Version: 0.7.0 (using KDE 4.6.1) OS: Linux When entering facebook.com in Rekonq, the arabic version of facebook is shown by default instead latinamerican spanish. My system locale is es_AR (Spanish - Argentina) and in other browsers this problem does not occur (tested in Firefox and Chromium), the site is shown in the correct language. Something that maybe is causing problems: AR can mean ARabic and ARgentina? Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set local in es_AR (Maybe with another latinamerican country the problem also occurs) 2. Clear any settings of Rekonq, cookies, etc. 3. Enter facebook.com Actual Results: The page is shown in Arabic instead of Latinamerican Spanish. Expected Results: It should be in latinamerican spanish, as I live in Argentina (es_AR).
While we'll try to fix this, you can try learning Arabic :D
I can confirm this. Facebook is French for me. Even though I am Canadian, I can't read French :( rekonq 0.7.0 KDE 4.6.5
I have the same problem execpt I live in Canada (en_CA) and get Catalan. This problem is not limited to Facebook, all of Google's services are effected by this for me. Some sites even atomatically translate for me. sabayonlinux.org does this and the kdeuserbase site also does this. I have tried Firefox, Chrome, Konquerer and Arora on the same sites without issue. This leads me to belive that it is a problem with Rekonq.
I hope/fear this depends just on QtWebKit. Let's see if will be fixed in the upcoming 2.2 release. Shaun, you were talking about konqueror/khtml, right?
I was talking about Konqeror/KHTML but I tested the sites I mentiond earlier with the webkit engine and had no problems. I expected this as Arora uses the same webkit libraries as Rekonq and Konquereor/webkit. I also went though Rekonq's config files searching for a work around. I found a promising line in the rokonqrc in my ~/.kde/share/config. [HTML Settings] AutomaticDetectionLanguage=1 I changed it to 0, nothing happend. Do you have any suggestions on anouther possible place to look?
I think the problem is Rekonq is using the last 2 letters of the locale code to send as a language, but that's wrong when it's a variation of the language, like en_CA or es_AR. People are getting Catalan (CA) or Arabic (AR) instead.
I just upgraded to Rekonq 0.7.57 via the rekonq-ppa on Launchpad and this issuse has been resovled. Thank you, I've been using Konquerer for almost two weeks. Now I can not look at it again for as long as possible. You guys are the best! Kubuntu 11.04_x64 KDE 4.7
I spoke to soon, no change. It must have been because I was logged in with Konquerer that my locale was detected properly. This problem is still in Rekonq :(
Targetting 0.8...
Same bug for me. For me this affects facebook. google and other very, very important sites that feed me my list of jpegs of cats with funny hats. I am also en_ca and get Catalan Spanish as my language. No system language selection connection (0.7.0) - I will try to use a more recent version. I actually cannot use as my principle browser anymore until this is solved.

switching to en_US or en _UK changes nothing. I haven't tried changing my system locale to the US instead of Canada. I will if you think it my helpyou find the bug but please note that Rekonq is the only browser with this issue on my system. Arora and Konquerer/webkit, which use the same QTWebKit library work fine.

Please, check the "locale" settings in your system (systemsettings -> locale) and tell me: - Country - available languages - preferred language then open rekonq facebook.com and tell me what language it is translated, thanks.
