Title: istock interface language setting
Post by: seawhisper on January 23, 2016, 04:25
Guys, HALP please. I wasn't using istock for a while and now when I log in it keeps switching my inteface to my original language. I don't see the possibility to switch back to English anywhere. Also the keywords I'm trying to describe when uploading changes language - they're in all possible languages possible. It's madness to match when you have option in multiple languages. How to set this to English only? I never use any other language in keywording but English and I never will. :/

Right up at the extreme top right of the screen is a dropdown 'Interational'.
They have changed it a bit, it used to be it gave you the list of languages supported, however, now there is a list of countries.
Note that if you live in, say, Spain, but want the language to be English, you have to lie to the interface and say you live in the UK or USA or whatever.
(Apparently, the countries thing is so that they can serve you 'geographically relevant' material.)

Oh gosh, true! Thanks! I would have hard time noticing it if you didn't say where to look.
So now I have good old English interface ok, but while matching the keywords with meaning the istock suggests it still mix languages so I can choose meaning in Polish, English or even Spanish. -_-

On a 'new view' page (not on a classic view page) scroll right down and on the extreme bottom right, there's a flag for your country and a language. If changing the language doesn't work, you'll need to contact CR.
