    Xbox gamertag suddenly appears to be in Chinese


    I started getting ads for a bank here in Canada all in Chinese which was a bit odd. I noticed today that it could be because of the fact that my gamertag is suddenly entirely in Chinese characters:

    At first I assumed some sort of account compromise but when I went to change the gamertag back to what it used to be it told me that my original gamertag was *still* my current gamertag.

    This seems related but different to the issue I've seen people report of their Xbox friends list being reduced and chinese characters showing up in the names of their friends.

    Already done that as soon as I saw the chinese characters. That wasn't the issue however because the gamertag is still set as it just was showing as Chinese characters somehow. That being said, the problem resolved itself for me. Unfortunately I can't help anyone else who has the same issue as it happened on its own after a computer restart. So beyond the classic "turn it off, turn it on again" I've got nothing.

    I’m seeing reports for similar things like unauthorized attempts to login in your account from china , etc.

    Please try changing your account password right now and if you didn’t have it enabled. Enable two steps verification.

    It was an issue with the Xbox servers, so there wasn't a fix for it other than to wait for them to fix it, which they have.

    Forza Hub Appearing in Chinese

    Hi,

    I had this for a long time and today i was finaly able to resolve this.

    These are the Steps that helped in my case, maybe they will help in your case to:

    - Open the Settings App in Wndows 10

    - Click on "Time & Language"

    - Click on "Region & language"

    - Check the installed languages

    In my case 3 Languages were installed. German, Japanese and English (in this Order!)

    -> i guess "Forza Hub" is not localized for German, so it took the next Language which was Japanese.

    -> by changing the Order and putting English as the second Language, Forza Hub now uses English.
