Today, on entering Google, I suddenly found the entire interface in the Quechua language, which I am hardly familiar with (Quechua is the language of the Inka empire, still spoken by millions of people in Bolivia and some neighboring countries).

I noticed that scores of languages are now available for the interface selection; but about the Quechua thing... after deleting preferences (including cookies), Google went right back to Quechua. Worse yet, it didn't save my preference for using another language.

Even weirder, this happens only in Opera; in Firefox, I get redirected to www.google.com.bo (in Spanish). In both cases, I tried deleting cookies.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
