Tonight I recovered my Waze ID, created a new password via SMS link and phone, and then logged into this forum on my laptop. Although I’m in North Carolina, the website behaved as if I were in Latin America. I entered waze.com and was sent to [u]https://www.waze.com/?locale=es-419[/u] and the page was delivered in Spanish.
Deleting the locale= parameter did not change the rendition.
Using the dropdown at the bottom of the page to English also did not change the rendition.
The only way I could get out of the loop was to close the tab and open a new one. There must have been a locale session cookie set, but I can’t imagine where the information came from. And the failure to honor the dropdown at the bottom of the page seems to be a real bug.
