Well, if the old rule is still valid (not sure, as the forum gets reworked right now) you need 20 posts.

I had hours of fun when it was changed to Czech for me.

You need to remember your way around the forum profile settings to change the language and input your current password.
Or use this link to go to the English version of the forum http://forum.avast.com/?language=english-utf8 (http://forum.avast.com/?language=english-utf8), from here you should be working in a familiar language and be able to enter your Profile, change the Language and enter your current password to allow the change.

Yes. It brought the forum to Portuguese.
But it shouldn't be changing just to visiting the forum, should it?
The forum settings should be ruling, shouldn't it?
