Shida si eti Goooguli inatumia Kiswahili kwenya mtandao, shida ni kunilazimisha kutumia Kiswahili kila ucheo.
Wazeiya, sina noma hata wakitaka kufinyilia sheng. Niko poa!
They should just let the user keep the language they selected. Not hard, just stick that variable in the cookie.

@Wash,
Your "activism" is akin to the Unga Revolution mafia .... :)) You have made my morning....

Either way, changing Google to English is just a click of a mouse, (there is usually a link below the search text box "Google in English") why all the fuss?!!

Frustrating, and even more is when some clients call and say they only get google.de in German since Google assumes the IP's are in Germany. I got some reprieve for I don't know how but my default search goes to google.co.ug and its in English by default only that the relevant searches are first from Ugandan stuff. I think this prediction or simple AI of theirs is a total FAIL!

It's a world of choices and Google has no reason to force us to read some language, even if it's our mother tongue.

Patriotism my foot ! :-))))
