Thank you. It's easier when you can read the language...

Actually, I had a lot of trouble finding a language I recognised in the
drop-down. In the end I chose Italian, and from then on it was easy.

I have absolutely no idea why Google decided I spoke Russian. Of course
sometimes they seem to change the language for a day, for a joke, but
this had gone on for weeks...
