XF 2.3 Unfurled youtube info is in German. We're in the US, so want English

[Tall Timbers]

I would imagine that this topic has been discussed but my searches have been fruitless. We're running the latest Xenforo with the Novus interface added. All other unfurled data displays in English but the youtube data displays in German. Is there a fix for this?

Use youtube.com not .de

Use youtube.com not .de

Unless the server ip is German and YT is pushing it that way.

The Xenforo server our site resides on apparently is in a country that uses the German Language.

Use youtube.com not .de

Members are using Youtube.com. We're located in the USA but our Xenforo server apparently is in a country that uses the German language.

if you have access to a US based server, you can try installing a proxy on it and try setting it up on your server.

i have faced this issue in past when i was hosted in europe.

Setting proper request headers (eg. Accept-Language) should be sufficient.

@Kruzya SOLVED by using:

$config['http']['headers'] = [
    'Accept-Language' => 'en-us, en-gb;q=0.8, en;q=0.7'
];

Thanks, everyone. Somebody from Xenforo is going to do the fix for us. We're on their server as opposed to having our own.

is there a way to do this for Xenforo Cloud?

I had to have Xenforo staff fix it. Now we don't get the jibberish in German but get a Youtube canned statement that's the same on all of them... but since we're operating in English, the canned statement is an improvement.

This is what we see now: "Enjoy the videos you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube."
