I was online banking and an interruption occurred. When I went back to banking and tried to type in the website the spelling in the search bar is in russian (i believe). What happened and how can I fix this. Do i need to call the bank?
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
If it only happens on the bank's website, I'd call them. If it happens globally, then try going to Safari menu > Preferences > Advanced > Default Encoding and choose English.

Thank you for your reply.
English is not an option. There is everything from Tai to Western, Middle european to cyrillic. When i do change to Tai for example, the same letters appear as previous, like it is russian. By the way it is universal not the Bank, I called and they checked.
Thank you for your help!
What happens if you set it to Western?
Safari 9
Safari/Preferences/Advanced - enable the Develop menu, then go there and Empty Caches. Quit/reopen Safari and test. Then try Safari/History/Show History and delete all history items. Quit/reopen Safari and test. You can also try try Safari/Clear History…. The down side is it clears all cookies.Doing this may cause some sites to no longer recognize your computer as one that has visited the web site. Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library./Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and move it to the trash.
Go to Safari Preferences/Extensions and turn all extensions off. Test. If okay, turn the extensions on one by one until you figure out what extension is causing the problem.
