Not really bitching since I find it rather funny...
So I get audio commercials in Swedish, Client set to English and the banner ads seem to still feel the Belgian in me since it switches from French to Dutch randomly.

I noticed that with quite a lot of services that I created in Belgium, they seem to go all wacky and start using: French/Dutch/English/Swedish randomly (Uplay and Origin especially.)

A global world they say... yet a lot of services seems to struggle with expats when it comes to language, payment options and other things.

Yeah, most of them still seem to think French is the majority in Belgium
I'm the same on localization... I want English on anything computer/tech related.

My colleague who uses his Belgian account, often gets German and Dutch ads mixed together - very odd. I only get Dutch myself.

I remember fuming because Xbox 360 insisted in giving me everything in French despite my address being Flemish and my settings set to English.

No...my own personal account. Free, non-premium account so no point sharing I don't think.
