How to switch from Chinese to English?

[skylee]

I am looking for the right hotels for my trip to france. There are a few websites that I usually use for hotel bookings, one of them is venere.com. But very strangely when I try to use venere on IE9 I am automatically given the simplified Chinese page. I tried to choose English but the website just refused to give me the English version. I suppose this had to do with my IP address (I am in HK). It is really difficult to use Chinese to choose hotels in France. If I can't view it in English I will just use other websites. Anyone knows how I can turn it to English on IE?

[PS - I can get its English version on Chrome. But I prefer IE.]

[Also, this is off-topic, if anyone wants to buy SNCF train tickets online, do not use its Chinese/Hong Kong website. The prices there are for unknown reasons awfully high, and the choices of trains are incredibly limited. Buy your TGV tickets on the French or English websites.]

You could try www.venere.co.uk and see if that keeps. When I try it I get redirected to www.venere.com, but it's all in English and I have a USA IP address, so I can't test it.

http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ works as well.

That's because you set Chinese as the first language preference in your browser. If you prefer sites in English, you should put English as the first choice.

Also, there is a language choice in the top right corner, right under the phone number.

I knew that. But as I said, "I tried to choose English but the website just refused to give me the English version." But thanks for your reply.

Any way, if I get to venere via tripadvisor I get the English version, and this way I have booked one hotel on venere ...
