When trying to purchase a game, suddenly the whole GOG page turned French. I can't read French, I had even problems reaching the forum, what do I do?!

You're lucky, now GOG will surrender all their games to you! Though they will smell of garlick a little.

Go the GOG main page, then search "langue" on the bottom right of the screen and select the language you want.

Huh? How would that be difficult? The links and buttons are in the same place regardless of language, you should be able to navigate everything just by location and icons.

Then again, I might have subconsciously learned to do that, as I frequently set up our network on pupils' phones in different languages - most have their phones set to Swedish or English, and those are easy, but then there's French (which I know a few words of thanks to taking it for a few years in school), Spanish (which I can guess, thanks to the little French I know, but that takes more time than just using muscle memory), Portuguese (ditto), and Arabic (... um... it's right-to-left, so ... everything is just reversed, and the icons and text styles are still the same, so I go by that... and the students are amazed that can read the language).
Oui Monsieur, you got a secret hint to start learning French. :p

A few grammar abominations, but nicely done! ^^

The layout is still the same in French, indeed.

If it's a bug, well then:

Scroll down the main page and find 'Langue' in the bottom right corner. If you still have issues, well 'Add to cart' is 'Ajouter au panier', 'Check out now' is translated as 'Acheter' (= to buy), then the big green button below your payment info is also exactly the same thing, confirm payment. 'Remove' is 'Retirer'.

I actually had to check these a bit as I only use GOG in English ^^


Usually, when you change the language once logged in, GOG sticks to the new one. But if you're just browsing without being logged in, it can be whatever's detected from your location I think. I've also noticed that changing language when you're not on the main page may not trigger a full change at once.

A hint to learn French? Who would be so devious as to hint at such a thing? :D

Anyway, something to get you started - somewhat accurate French subtitles, historical accuracy, and a real (and useful!) French sentence too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGXx56WqqJw&feature=youtu.be&t=57s
Thanks, now I had to watch 20 minutes of MP Outtakes! :-D
Uh la la... I mean, what the fuck :-D

Yes. French is worse than english when it comes down to pronunciation. Why can't all languages be like hungarian, you spell it as you write it.
