Chrome Language won't change - How do I change Accept-Language?

Recently I have been having a problem. I started learning a new language a couple of Month ago (Swedish) and decided to set some stuff up in Swedish. I cant remember what settings I changed to Swedish but I changed a few settings in Google and chrome on my android phone to set the language to Swedish for language learning. But recently I decided to change everything back to English.



The problem I am having is that even though I have now set every single Google setting I can think of back to English including G+, chrome settings, clearing caches, chrome settings (desktop+android) and also Google settings in android, for some reason the default language on web-pages is still Swedish even if I'm not logged in, and even if I change the website language manually by going to the bottom of the page when I come back later it will be back to Swedish. Also all CAPTCHA e.g. "I am not a robot" etc are in Swedish and many Google apps and web-pages are as well even if I am signed in such as the Chrome app store.None of my settings now include Swedish as a secondary language and yet websites still display in it. I tried to look further by using the website validator.w3.org/i18n-checker/. This shows me that Accept-Language: sv-SE,sv;q=0.9,en-GB;q=0.8,en;q=0.7 basically that Swedish language is preferred, why?



Tried:




  • Changing all Google language settings to English

  • Changing Chrome settings to English

  • Setting Android settings to English

  • Reinstalling Chrome

  • Clearing Cache & Cookies


This problem is legitimately melting my brain at this point as it affects my experience on multiple devices and sometimes websites don't have manual language selection, this is why I suspect it is to do with Google settings or locales but I have changed all settings I could find to do with language.And no, the "Quick Language Switcher" app doesn't do anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated !
