Im based in HK English speaker but all city map displays are in Chinese. How to change the default to English?

Hi @mbook131 , does this happen only in the app / mobile browser, or also in desktop version? What OS?

Most importantly, have you changed your preferences in Settings? (you must be logged-in to be able to save your preferences)

1. English map labels = On / Off ... No matter what language you have set for the whole Windy web/app.

2. Language = automatic / English / Chinese / Russian / Arabic ... You can choose the language that you want for your whole Windy web/app including all menu boxes but also map labels (unless you selected "English map labels = On").

Both 1. + 2. are subject to condition that a particular map label has been translated/transliterated to the desired language. It is a matter of the database that we use for this purpose. If you see a label on the map that has not been translated/transliterated, please approach OSM directly and suggest a translation. Thank you!
