The Real Blogger Status

Last week, I reported of my personal experience with the Blogger Tower Of Babel aka Archives language problem. That was a one day experience. Today, we see numerous folks reporting that their Archives are now showing in Albanian . Interestingly, some state that changing the Language setting under Publishing corrects the immediate symptom. So now we have to ask why language settings are changing? And was the previous problem actually fixed, or is this another symptom of that problem? >> Forum thread links: bX-*00038 >> Copy this tag: bX-*00038 >> Top

Now, we have people reporting Some of the people that wanted to comment on my page have their comment pages in Thai. I do live in Thailand but my blog is all in English and I do get the comment page in English. Remedies suggested in Make Your Blog Speak Your Language are relevant to the blog body, but not the comments page. >> (Update 5/25) : Blogger states that the comments page language is determined by the blog readers language setting, or location . If they are a Blogger user, Blogger will try to use their account settings for your comment page. If they're not a Blogger user, then Blogger will try to detect language settings from their browser. >> Forum thread links: bX-*00038 >> Copy this tag: bX-*00038 >> Top

This appears to have started a week or so ago, with maybe a dozen threads and multiple posters. Today, more reports than previous days. Remedies suggested in Make Your Blog Speak Your Language appear to provide mixed levels of success. >> (Update 6/25): Blogger tells us: The fix is coming out shortly - most likely this week. >> Forum thread links: bX-*00038 >> Copy this tag: bX-*00038 >> Top
