Google Chrome does not correctly recognize the language of the site page

Question

Google Chrome

I ran into a problem here. When entering a certain page of a Russian-language site, Chrome tries to translate it, believing that the language is Ukrainian. On other pages of the same site, this problem is not observed ... The

header of all pages was the same before the incident. After the incident, I tried to explicitly register: it did not help. The initial look (like all other pages) was like this: How to deal with this and will this behavior affect robots / SEO? I also note that such a bug appeared after yesterday's inconspicuous update. UPD: Pages pass W3C validation just fine

Answer 1

I can assume that Google stupidly scores on language tags, and looks at the amount of text in a particular language. I also have one of the pages of the forum (phpBB) Google offers a translation. And all because 80% of the text of this page is written in English.

Answer 2

Meta Content-Language helped me in this situation. But it didn't apply right away. Test on Chrome with a clean profile.
