A +1!



Anyway. For forums: Dunno if this'll help, but Settings is the second option on the top right-hand from right to left (third from left to right, including your screenname). Go to general settings (next to last on the second box to the left) and the last drop-down menu changes your forum language. Then Save changes, the left-hand button on the bottom.

For exclusively lodestone, I'd try clicking on the US flag (or UK flag) on the top right, on the SE black bar thing.
