Roblox website sometimes displays in another language.

MetaProx · March 29, 2025, 2:05am

On rare occasion when reopening a window on the Brave(chromium web browser) I’ll see that my language has changed to what I assume to be Chinese or another language. This is a pretty minor issue but is otherwise strange to say the least.

Strangest of all is that sometimes text will end up in the top search bar that also happens to be in the same language. This has happened once fairly recently.

Browser: Brave (Chrome 134 on Windows 11)
System: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Nvidia 4070 Super, 64 Gigs of DDR5 Ram @ 6000 MHz
OS: Windows 11 Home

Expected behavior

It should be using my system preferred language unless otherwise set in some sort of account settings somewhere.

Just adding that I’ve experienced this for a while as well. It also affects the dashboard and the forum. Interestingly its not always the same language on both. I have had Roblox appear in Spanish while the dashboard was in Polish

Hi @MetaProx long shot but would you have an exact (or close) timestamp that this occurred?

For anyone encountering this issue, it would be a great help if you could share details like:

Device / Browser:
Your Roblox username:
Date/time of occurrence (including timezone):
How long it took to revert back to your normal language (or if you changed it back yourself in settings):
Whether it was consistent across page refreshes:

We’re looking into this and the more info we have, the better.

Just an update on this: It appears everything is in spanish both on the website and in-game. Refreshing does not appear to get rid of it this time now either.
