I have installed avast in english but I receive the messages in another language, I know that many people think that ip sniffing is good but you should instead of sniffing the ip getting the language from the installed software, if I go to china with my laptop do you send me messages in chinese?
Yes and no.
For some types of messages, such as the registration page - yes, they should match the selected program language, if possible.
Some messages, however, may contain e.g. some discount offers - and then it doesn’t make much sense to offer somebody in Canada a price in Pounds or vice versa (and it’s certainly not possible to have a matrix of all supported languages for all country-specific content).
I ‘bump’ this item because frankly this language issue is bothering me as well.
Today I had again a popup, asking me - IN FRENCH - if I wanted to upgrade Avast.
My Windows is English.
My version of Avast is English.
My keyboard is Belgian Dutch.
If I go to market in Avast the text is invariably in French. Even if Avast reads the ‘geographic’ location of my IP address the language is wrong.
