Baidu IME secretly transmitting Japanese users’ data

Now I'm having trouble logging in to GMail: that link set a cookie saving my language as Japanese! D:

edit: Found the "language" option on Google sign-in -- it's the scroller in the bottom right labelled "日本語". There's a small blue logo next to it that looks like the UN flag. Hope this helped someone.

edit #2: It's also in the URL, replace /intl/jp/ with /intl/en/ (for English)

日本語 means "Japanese" (as a language), if you ever get into such a situation again.

Go to google.com/ncr to reset your Google to English :-)
