YouTube language settings problem

In an attempt to achieve more language-neutral browser behaviour, I added multiple languages to my browser's language settings.

Problem: YouTube consistently and automatically sets its interface to the third language in my list. I've experimented, I've shifted things around in the list, it's always the third language. The first two are English and French, which YouTube does speak, but it skips right to the third.

Weird, eh?

YOu are so right - I was looking at a friend's PC and her YT was having the same odd problem - I checked the IE language settings, and sure enough - the 3rd setting was Chinese (which explained her blank boxes all over the place - not having Chinese encoded). I added English UK in 3rd place and, sure enough, back to normal. How odd.
