Issue

Whenever the Chrome browser history and/or cache is cleared, you will notice that the region settings for Chrome revert back to a default setting  instead of the region in which you reside. Since most all of our Windows virtual private servers are located in European datacenters and you may be located in the US for example... this can cause your page text, search results, etc. to be displayed in a language other than English.

Why This Occurs

Unless you are logged into a Google account while using Chrome, the region settings are stored in the browser's cookies. Because of this, if you clear the cache and cookies in the browser, the SPECIFIC region setting (US for example) will revert back to Default (physical location of the VPS datacenter).

The exception to this is if you ARE logged into a Google account, then the regional settings associated to that account will be enabled and will roam with you to any computer you log into. These regional settings override the cookie based region settings.
