The system and browser language are two factors which are very important. If someone login to a US bank account with Algerian browser language then it is very suspicious.
Some people would say "Maybe an Algerian lives in the US but has his mobile on his mother language", yes but the navigator.languages variable is representing user's preferred languages and if you have de-DE, en-US and so on, it is more suspicious.
Check Browser's Language :
To get your current browser languages via console do inspect elements.
Console.
Then type
navigator.language or navigator.languages
Change Browser Language :
To change your languages go to about
references and scroll down.
Set alternatives.
Select language to add search for more languages, if you have a language click on "Add" and then "OK" and apply it. (Browser restart required).
You can remove the language which you don't need.
Make sure if you want remove the original browser language, that you change your whole system language and if this does not work, reinstall your browser.
You can change your system language on Windows :
1. Open Settings and click on "Accounts" then "Sync your settings" and disabled "Language preferences"
2. Search "Time & Language" then click on "Language" and "Add a language"
3. Find your language and wait until windows has been downloaded the language pack. Then choose the language and you're done.
Changing system language in Linux :
To get your locales type :
locale -a
We can set a locale by
sudo localectl set-local LANG=en_US.utf8
To get your current system language :
cat /etc/default/locale
A reboot for changing the system language is always required.
And you are done.
