## Description

AliExpress website tries hard to determine and use the visitor's native language. Unfortunately, its automatic translation is inaccurate and sometimes barely understandable. So, on most occasions, switching to the English language is actually preferable, but the website insists on using the detected language.

The purpose of this extension is to override AliExpress language auto-detection and switch to English whenever possible.

Click the extension's icon in the browser toolbar to temporarily disable language coercion.

Limitation: this version does not work for the front and index pages of individual Stores.
