Google-chrome – How to remove a language from Chrome

google-chromelanguage

When travelling to Poland, I logged in with my Google account on a Polish computer. This action somehow added Polish to my Google profile and now I simply cannot remove it.

The net effect is that a variety of sites now present themselves with my "preferred" language (which they take as being Polish), same for extensions etc.

I tried everything I could to remove it, starting with the Settings:

I am here trying to remove Polish but it just stays there (as in "it does not move after clicking on Remove"). If I move it down and the try to remove it, it jumps to position number 2.

Restarting the browser does not help.
Reinstalling does not help.
Deleting the profile and recreating it does not help.
Uninstalling Chrome and manually eradicate all the files which are linked to Chrome does not help.
Setting the preferred languages in my Google profile does not help (Polish is not there, I therefore assume this is a Chrome setting)

I filed a bug in Chromium but it will take ages before it is triaged. Is there a way I may have missed to remove this language from the list and end my misery?

This helped me:

  1. Delete Chrome from your PC.
  2. Disable location determination in Windows.
  3. Install Chrome again.
  4. Before you sync your account, check if the language is correct now.
  5. If yes, then before you sync your account, disable "setting sync" in Chrome  (setting → Sync and Google services → manage sync → "disable settings").
