Marking a TB/Geocoin as missing log question

I marked a TB as missing now since it's not in my cache anymore. To my surprise a log was automatic made and sent in a language I don't understand or can write myself. (probably in german). Why is the automatic log written in another language than English? And are there any ways I can change some settings so the log is written in English?

Having marked more than 4,000 trackables missing, I've seen this several times. My belief is that, if the owner of the trackable has set a language preference, the automated "mark missing" log is automatically translated for the benefit of the trackable owner. It is a bit jarring to see that I've just "written" a paragraph in German!

Thank you for the explanation. I was so surprised to see the log in a language I can't communicate in. I hope I don't get a private message in that language with the expectation that I can write a reply in that language :)

You can change your "marked as missing" log the following way: click on "view log" and then click the pen. You can then delete the automated message and write whatever you like.
