I dunno about rightly if they're using your IP to determine language instead of the language setting (Accept-Language header) from your browser

They do this with good intentions because not everyone can change this header (e.g if you're using some locked down browser at a kiosk you may not be able to change this) but it's infuriating for everyone who can.

If you are using a locked down browser at a kiosk, you cannot change your IP either.
