Why does Firefox keep sending me emails in Spanish? I'm not Spanish, I don't speak Spanish, I am not in a Spanish speaking country, so what the hell?

What kind of emails are you getting? Could you copy/paste some of the content so someone could try to identify them?

The first one was just an email to complete my registration. I didn't want to click it at first because I thought it was spam. I mean, I understand enough Spanish to know what it said, but it's just very odd to send me emails in Spanish when I've never given any indication that I'm Spanish-speaking. The second email was just the confirmation that I completed the registration.

Registration for this site- in order to post a question. All the follow-up notifications have been in English, but it's weird that the first couple were in Spanish. Oh well. It's still mucho extrano. :)

Could be a problem from updating to Django 1.8.

The English one. Why would I use the "es" if I don't speak Spanish? It's definitely en-US and it always has been. I have no idea why or where the Spanish came from- except for in the first two emails I received. Now all the notifications are English. It's not really a problem anymore, per se, but it's just very odd. This wasn't even my original question and has nothing to do with my original question I only posted it after I tried to register to post my original question and the verification email came in Spanish.
