After arriving in Singapore, from Australia, I unwittingly stayed in a hotel that was primarily for Indonesian tourists. I connected to the hotel WiFi and my Face Book pages immediately went to the Indonesian language, I passed through Malaysia, the same, I am now on a ship on the high seas using a ships network but no change. I would like to revert the language to English but can't decipher any of the instructions! Any (sensible) ideas please?

Caveat it's been a while since I was on Facebook.

Bottom left on many pages is a clickable link showing your current language setting. It will say something like "Malayu" or "Bahasa Indonesia". Click on it to show all available languages.

Failing that, there's definitely a link at the bottom of the settings page. So, click the triangle top right: in the drop-down list, third item down is probably something like "pengaturan" (settings). On the next page, go to the bottom and look for the Facebook copyright line. Under that, is a link indicating your current language setting: click on that, and all available languages will be displayed.

I've scribbled down bushfiva's escape clause in case of similar hassles. An annoyance for most of us but when you are doing weeks before the mast I think I could end up in the brig :eek:
