I thought Aliexpress was just trying to subtly say "FU, we're the new dominant culture now" to western Europeans by randomly switching to Chinese like 25% of the time...

Guess they just have one of the buggiest locale detections in the world :)))

EDIT+: ...or maybe too many Chinese users leave their proxy/VPN on when using their site too

I can tell you, that I saw my native Polish, and I wish I didn't. The automatic translation is so bad, that I automatically rush to switch to English.

They figured out that "la naiba" is better than "perkele" :-p

Aliexpress also doesn’t allow me to use my normal email, I think they have a whitelist of known email provider domains or something like that. It’s a pretty atrocious website all around.
