It still bugs me, though, what's triggering Google (since it does seem to be Google at this point, not one of your add-ons?) to set a flag to switch your language to German. Is it watching German language videos? I mean, you don't have to answer that. I'm just thinking perhaps you do something on Google in German (look up words, watch German language videos, or heck, I don't know) that makes them change the language preference automagically.
If that's so, though, it kind of sucks. Say my non-existent German husband who only speaks/writes/thinks in German Googles something in German within my open English-language browser, on my computer, so Google sets some kind of flag (against my account/IP) to show everything in German from that point on? That to me would qualify as a bug, not a feature.
