Why has Google started offering me Polish?

It appeared and I can't get rid of it?

I actually checked my account for unauthorized users but it's clean....

Very odd.

Are you using a vpn ?

Im not but that would make sense at least.

It's Hungarian not Polish.

Have you been searching for something that returns most foreign results?
Other equally plausible option is a bad geolocation on your IP.

It was Hungarian yes correct.
I jumped to the polish connection because we were planning a city break there before covid17.
As you say I thought it may have been related, proven wrong.

Ironically, my phone got the march android security update this morning and somehow through that process, íts now gone.

Probably just the reboots.

sometimes its down to your IP being registered as in the wrong country, I've had it on my phone before, in the sense I get the worldwide version of BBC all of a sudden and it thinks i'm in germany or something.
Not all sites use the same reverse lookup service/database either so sometimes they can disagree on which version they should serve you, i.e amazon may think sweden but google norway or whatever
