Your sites auto-language selector needs an overhaul, I'm from Sweden and don't speak Russian nor Frensh for that matter yet the site selects them as chosen languages (prev visit was Russian when the browser wanted EN but this time Frensh when it wanted EN.... The browser reports preferred language correctly (English) yet your site fails. And as a fallback if that didn't work the 99% of all geoip's get it correctly so why cant your site?

Does it work correctly after having logged in? Many of us forum regulars have experienced the front page showing up in the wrong language or even in a mix of two languages.
Right now the whole forum seems very unstable so it might be a failing server or something.

This has happened to me in a specific computer, before logging in (twice: once with Portuguese language and once with French). It didn't happen in another computer or in my smartphone.

As someone who works with a pair of the groip databases, Europe is a *cough*.

Make sure your language is hard selected here:

My library's IP address used to be allocated in a range in Russia. I still hit sites using old data and get Russian language.
