What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. if i load google.co.uk or any other google related website it shows in Arabic.  I have tried creating new windows users and same issue.  I am in the UK and always have been.  This issue only occured for last week or so.

My region, language and locale settings in windows are English United Kingdom


I have tried going to google.co.uk > settings and enforcing UNITED KINGDOM which works for that browser only but then if i load another google site (ie groups.google.com) it is then in arabic.   This is cross browser so i cant blame browser settings.

this machine is in a Data Centre in London (its not a VPN IP) its a physical dell server with windows 10 installed on it that my staff use for virtual desktop access for work. IPWHOIS still shows UK (as i thought this could of been the issue).

1. Navigate to chrome://settings/languages and check the languages added there.
2. Please check if Arabic language is been added there and at the top of all languages.
3. If so, then please remove the language from chrome://settings/languages by clicking on "remove" option at the 3-dots menu beside that language.

"This is cross browser so i cant blame browser settings." This is not a Chrome bug so marking as Won't Fix. You should check your Google account language preferences (https://myaccount.google.com/preferences?pli=1#localization) and if the problem persists, click the bottom right corner on the Google Search page ("Settings") and choose the bottom option ("Send Feedback") so the right team can triage it.
