Suddenly, half of the words on the forum are Chinese characters? Did I hit a wrong button or something?

I just noticed this too. I thought it was something I did.

I'm using Firefox on an iMac running OSX 10.4.11

Microsoft Explorer. It is not all the selections - just some. Example: I am typing in the "Quick Reply" box. The left button at the bottom is in Chinese - I think it typically says "Submit Reply". The middle and right buttons are still in English. One of the regulars on here - his signature quotes Calvin about making the day a little surreal?

Just found the thread you guys started, what's going on with the Chinese? Where's Jack Bauer? I don't like the look of this.

I'm also getting Chinese characters; Firefox on Ubuntu 8.10.

The "Submit" button is in Chinese, but Preview and Switch to Full Reply Screen are in English.

Please don't tell me our government is forcing all our businesses to switch from being French/English bilingual to Chinese/English bilingual as part of the stimulus package.
