Safari somhowe changes language of software licence, how to fix

After the last safari update I get websites that all of a sudden display stuff in the language of the country I am in (I travel a fair bit). Like yesterday I downloaded some software and all of a sudden I get the licensing agreements in German (I was in Germany at the time).


I was in System Preferences > "Language & Region." And made sure that "English" is listed as the "Primary" language at the top of the list. But that made no difference.


Any solutions?

Probably the website customized its contents based on your IP address (German, in your case) or your location.


Speaking of location, Safari has in Preferences... -> Websites -> Location the option to control the access of your location by websites you visit.


The external IP address is possible to change with a VPN.


The license appeared before downloading the software or simply you got directly a German version of the software? Do you mind sharing the link?
