Changing default country

[Signedx]

How can I change the default country that is being displayed for Iron, for example; if you go to bing.com it will auto-set your country to Germany.

If it can't be done through the settings, which file do I modify to change it in the source and compile for myself?

I don't have this problem. Are you going through a proxy in Germany, perhaps?

Type about: in the URL box. It will show you which version you are running, and the language.
Here is mine
SRWare Iron 5.0.326.0 (Developer Build 38863)
WebKit 533.1
V8 2.1.0.1
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Iron/5.0.326.0 Chrome/5.0.326.0 Safari/533.1

Also, go to the install folder and open the 'locales' folder. What is shown there? One or more.
That is the folder that tells Iron what language to use and to report(I think). I haven't found another place that lists the language used.

No proxy; when I use Chrome, Firefox, IE,etc., I don't have this problem.

Side note:

Also noticed that my search engines are hardcoded to auto direct to German version of the site.

Please look at your "Preferences" File in the Profile Folder.

So how do we know what 'number' a country is?
In my Iron5 profile, all i cn i=find relating to country is this obscure line.

Code: Select all

"countryid_at_install": 21843,
