The Chrome Google Translate thing appears to be set to automatically translate on the Nexus 7 into your base language. This is most frustrating if you are multilingual. I can't find a way to disable it. So every time I look things up in German using the Chrome browser, it changes it to English without asking me. How do I turn it off?
I don't like to bump things but it has been a few days. Anyone know the answer?
Wish I had some help for you. I've found that while the desktop version of Chrome is very simple to adjust the settings in, the android version is not so simple. You might want to use another browser for German sites

Having a problem last two days with vzw home page overriding browser/google settings and then forcing searches through Bing. Search starts in google to about 50% then loads the vzw page breifly before ending in Bing. I am on a debinged device and it wasnt a problem for the week before on the same rom.
Is it possible a market app swapped something and where might I look to find it ? No matter what I reset in the browser seetings or clear, the behavior returns.

A search on debinged browser will help you find answers. If you are rooted you will have more options. But there are things you can do to minimize the influence if bing searches without being root.
One solution that I used was to replace browser.apk with the one from the Samsung Mesmerize which is the Canadian version of the Fascinate which doesn't use Bing
There is another file that will give you google search on a short press of the search key. But not google voice search with a long press. To get Google Voice Search you can install Vlingo (a nice voice recognition application with lots of features)
Another option is to use a different browser like Dolphin (I like Dolphin Mini) and set your home page to Google.
For a google search widget you can install LauncherPro.
Lots of ways to go. Searching will help you find details.
Thanks for the reply, but maybe I wasnt clear. I am fully rooted, running an eb01DB_DXC.tar with eb01 lockscreen mods, some swapped touchwiz and buddies .apks and other minor mods. Google voice search is disabled and everything is set properly settings wise.
The search function worked properly for a week, but something has changed to create this new behavior. I already tried Skyfire as well.
I understand the need to search and I do quite a bit. I just cant find a reason why behavior would change when there is no apparent reason to based on the device config.
Quick question about chrome on my nexus 4.. I recently changed system language to spanish, used this for a while, then changed it back.
Now the problem is, that even though chrome itself is in english again, many pages show up with their language setting set to show the spanish version. It's especially in incognito tabs, for example, i open a google search on incognito mode, and it will redirect me to the spanish google page and show mainly spanish-relating results.
Any idea how to change this? It's pretty annoying.
Does nobody know how to fix this?
Hello all. I just noticed an issue that I dont remember having before. My Shield is updated to whatever the current official release is, and I might be rooted, can't remember (every update unroots me, cant remember if I re-rooted before or after the last update..). So the issue is, when I use the Voice commands to search anything, it applies very heavy censoring using Google's preferred logic (for instance, the word "porn" is censored but another dirty P-word is not..? I tested a ton of dirty words and it made no sense what it decided was bad and what was ok...). In the Shield's settings I have safe search off as well as the bad word filtering in the Voice settings disabled. I tested voice searching and voice to text input on my phone using the same Google account and it doesnt censor anything... Anyone have any idea how to resolve this? I Google'd around and all I found were a number of people saying they also have this issue, and it seems to have sprung up out of the blue. But it wasnt any help as there was no resolution, the reports spanned from 2011ish to 2016, and there was no common device or Android OS version...
also, JFYI, I noticed this issue by trying to search for SourceFed's video where they attended the hentai convention. "SourceFed Hentai Con" said aloud to my Shield resulted in it searching for "SourceFed H***** Con," and Youtube ignoring the H***** and just giving me every result containing "SourceFed" and/or "Con." Manually typing the word into the search on the Shield yielded the desired result, though... I am certain I have been able to voice cuss words in the past to look up songs on Youtube, but I cant give even a vague guess at when this censoring began for me..
Do you happen to have a different google search installed? A sideloaded version of the phone google search? If so, that has some voice settings too.
But if you are just using the inbuilt search function, maybe try changing language first, to a different english, then check the filters again etc. And try enabling blocking offensive words, use it, reboot, uncheck?
Or else, go to settings, apps, then in system apps select Google Search and Uninstall updates. Then it will reinstall updates probably, or do it manually via Play Store. And try Clear Data as well.
If that doesn't work, sign out of your google account. and last resort, factory reset?
Ive tried much of what you suggested already, but Ill give the rest a shot (changing languages temporarily and uninstalling/reinstalling updates mainly). If that doesnt work I will just have to live with it, not a big enough issue to warrant a factory reset lol. Thanks for the suggestions. I considered doing basically evertything you suggested, but figured it was unlikely to help. You also suggesting the same things makes me think there is a sliver of hope. Ill report back.
So, first thing I did was change the language to UK English and test it. Its not censoring voice search from the main menu, but IS censoring in Youtube only now. Changing back to US English, Youtube is censored and main screen searches arent. So, progress at least.

Disable Restricted Mode in the youtube settings?
Restricted Mode has always been disabled. Voice-searching Youtube on my phone isnt censored, I should have mentioned. So at the moment, across all of the Google ecosystem, for some reason the only thing being censored is voice search in Youtube on my Shield... Going to clear Youtube data and updates on the Shield and let it refresh itself and see what happens.
Now that you mention it, Youtube does filter out some words as well. It does show the word titties, but the word fu ck is with stars. Maybe it's just the youtube app?
I can say f you in the regular search option. in Youtube I see stars. So maybe it's just youtube censorship...

Yeah, it does seem to restrict outputting several words in the Youtube leanback app. In any language.
Maybe that's just built in the youtube app for tv.
You could consider using the phone/tablet youtube app. You can find it on the Aptoide app, or just download it from apkmiror.com and install it on your device. Then use an app (on the tv play store) called TV App Repo to create a shortcut on your Homescreen.
Maybe using the full youtube app will work. You can probably use the right stick on your controller as a mouse. Right trigger to click, hold to scroll. A to confirm, B for back.
EDIT: Tried it, the regular app doesn't seem to act any different. It uses the same voice overlay.
I actually used the regular app for a short time, as there are modded versions available that completely block ads, but it was entirely unusable for me. Barely even seemed to respond to input so all I could do was view front-page videos. Now I am doing the four month free trial of Youtube Red/Play Music, so no ads anyways haha. Thanks for your help though. Definitely looking to be no "fix" for this, but...I realized a very simple workaround. Doing the voice search from the main screen by default (for me at least) uses Youtube as its main results source. So I just have to remember if I need to search for anything with a potentially dirty word in it, just make sure to hit the Home button then the search button. I think that is an acceptable option, just not sure why Youtube's Leanback app has the restriction in the first place..

Yeah, I find it strange that there are apparently two voice search apps built-in. But indeed, searching from home does the trick.
Hi. I have an SM-G950FD from UAE. It is working alright, and after putting in my Spanish SIM card I guess it adjusted properly since the ROM seems to be the Spanish one (screenshot with the SW info). Even Samsung Pay works correctly.
Now the only thing weird that is happening to me is that when I browse some websites like eBay, Paypal, Samsung website for managing the phone, they load in Russian. What surprises me is that should these websites show some foreign version, I guess it should be the UAE version not Russian. If I browse one of these websites that shows you your IP it's showing a Spanish IP.
Any ideas what is happening and how could I fix this? Thanks.
Is this an issue only with one browser?
Test the issue an try other browsers like G Chrome or Firefox to see if they load in Russian as well (they shouldn't).
All, check your browser's settings for any preferred language.

Thanks for your response. Now that you mention it: no, it only happens when browsing websites within other apps. I believe this web-browsing is done through Chromium. If I use Chrome or Firefox, it loads the correct versions of the websites.

Well, then it might of some specs, check your in-app settings, or your google play default country/language.

I haven't been able to find any kind of configuration set to Russian. Since this has happened to me in more than just one app, I guess this issue relates to Chromium, but I haven't find how to configure it.
If you can, do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.
Don't forget to backup your data and files before doing the reset

No luck with that either I guess that unless I flash another ROM I won't be able to get rid of this.
Hello there.
Thanks so much to all the people and developers out here.
First of all , to say that I am trying as much as I can to get out of Google Therms and Conditions (but I love to keep using Android, and I know that Android is develop from Google, and I also know that before Google, Android was existing too, ....anyways).
I just got install LineageOS plus microG , and everything was beautyful and great until I find out that the custom ROM is using the call, smsing, contacts, browser, calendar, email and maybe some other one that now I cant find, from Android, so means that still that apps are connected to Google, cause I click about sms , for example, and then privacy , and it redirect me through google search motor to a Google privacy and Therms ???
And one thing that I have got more impress is that the call app , I cant even stop it or disable it. Anyone can tell me why?
And going deeper in LineageOS , I have experience that are some other issues that I cant really disable in the system.
I just decide to use Signal instead of sms. Brave instead of Android browser.
So I will love to get an alternative to have my contacts in the telephone, and maybe more suggestions of other apps.
And is it possible to get reed of phone Android app somehow, or is something that Google force to use??
Thanks for reading it.
PS- I was just gonna submit my post and then reCAPTCHA pops up and tell me to press in some pictures. Is it a support for AI that are we giving this data for free so they can develop better robots for the future??
yeah
I just find out that there is an app called Contacts in F-Droid that belongs to simplemobiletools, and seems awesome. it alloweds me also at makes calls, so I can dissable phone from Android. Step by step and getting there. Thanks for all that has read the post.
