How to change Google Chrome language from Tagalog to English

Yay! It was my first time to install Google Chrome on my pc. I've had a hard time figuring out  how to change the default language settings which is in Filipino to English (US). The translation was a bit awkward though it's grammatically correct. But you see some English (especially the technical terms) just can't have a "decent" Filipino language counterpart.

The tab "Sa ilalim ng hood" was quite obvious to be "Under the hood", but it just gave me a serious laugh. That phrase doesn't make sense at all on standalone conversations. hahaha...

Anyways I documented how I did it. Just for fun. It was still an achievement of the day for me .(^_^)

      i also did not find 'pagpilian'. what i did was (after i clicked on the wrench symbol)i clicked on the word BELOW 'signed in as (your name)...' and this will take you to chrome settings. scroll down and click on 'ipakita ang advanced settings' then scroll further down to 'mga wika' and click on 'wika at spell checker...' now here you can choose your preferred language(english, US) and it will tell you to restart your computer and it is done. i successfully did it. i hope i was able to help.

Free Philippine Administrative Boundaries shapefile

Free Administrative Boundary shapefile can be downloaded here . The coordinate reference system is latitude/longitude and the WGS84 datum. Other file formats such as ESRI geodatabase (.gdb), Google Earth (.kmz), and RData for RProject. Geospatial data from other countries are also available for download here. File Formats A "shapefile" consist of at least three actual files. This is a commonly used format that can be directly used in Arc-anything, DIVA-GIS , and many other programs. Unfortunately, non-latin characters are garbled. An "ESRI geodatabase" is an MS Access fole that can be opened in ArcGIS (an expensive but powerful program). One of its advantages, compared to a shapefile, is that it can store non-latin characters (e.g. Cyrillic and Chinese characters). A "Google Earth .kmz" file can be opened in Google Earth . A "RData" file can be used in R (with the sp package loaded) Some files have been compressed and grouped i...

In our GIS class for Geomatics Engineering, we were asked to digitize a pan-sharpened Quickbird image of UP Diliman and specify the roads, buildings, and open spaces in the campus. Also this is my first time to import data from a handheld GPS into my GIS. Here's my output map: We we're also asked to georeference a "very old" aerial photo of UP Diliman campus. Here's the result:
