Anyone notice this message at the top on their screen? Is CT now owned by a foreign country?

I assumed it has always been owned by someone in a foreign country. Most likely the US.

Nothing like that on my screen. Maybe it's only on foreigner's screens...

Do you have the G icon?

Kenny, I have tried every category and do not have that show up on any of the screens.... is there some way you might have triggered something that would cause it to normally be printed in another language and then it detects that you are using english?
Something for the "higher ups" in admin to look into...

Are looking at it on your phone? I only use the computer at home so it doesn't show stuff like that. Might be something on your phone .....

Yes, on my phone. Not even sure if I have CT on my laptop. I just tapped the settings icon beside it and it offered a do not translate. I clicked on that and it still shows up. No big deal and it doesn't change anything but it is odd to have it show up and i wonder why.

What browser are you using? I'm going to guess chrome, that all plays into this as well.

I don't have the G icon.
That top dark brown section above the CT logo on your screenshot is not part of the cattle today site. It is part of the chrome browser on the phone. That G icon is for google translate app which comes on the android phone. Touch the 3 dots on the upper right and you will get a menu which allows you to select "Translate". Doing that on my phone will bring up the translation section near the top which asks if you want to translate or if you want to cancel the translation.
If you select the 3 dots, then settings, then languages, there are changes you can make about automatically offering to translate, select your language, etc. Changes to some of those settings might be needed.
Maybe restarting the phone will stop it from coming up all the time.

I would close out all chrome tabs and reopen and see what that does, you might have inadvertently hit some setting while browsing on your phone.
Google tries to predict our next move too much sometimes in my opinion, but it is nice when they get it right.
I use a PC here at the house, and a laptop for work. One thing I did about 3 years ago, was quit using Chrome or Edge or Explorer. I use ccleaner browser here, and use duckduckgo browser at work. Neither will allow cookies from any site, unless you approve it. And I never Google anything. I use duckduckgo search engine on both computers. You can find sites using that search engine that you can not find on Google, especially any site or component that is neutral or leans conservative. Another good thing is, FB and other social media no longer posts ads etc, for me. These sites can not search your browser history to find things that you have searched, and use that to tailor the content you see, or the ads that show up on FB. When you do a search with duckduckgo, every link to the sites it finds, has something you can click, right under the page link for that site, that allows you to visit anonymously . It hides your IP address.

Android phone here, with Chrome of course. NO 'G' at the top of CT page UNLESS, I refresh the page. Then, I get both the G and the 'translated' message. ONLY, on CT tho. None of my other usually visited websites show either of those oddities.
The 'G' is Google translate, which you can find by hitting the 3 little dots up at the top right of your android device.
It's also available on my laptop when using chrome, by bringing down my menu in the same manner. Mouse click on the 3dots at top right. It means something on CT has been automatically translated by Chrome. An ad maybe, or even a foreign spelled word or phrase by someone in a post or even their username.

That, I don't know. I don't use my phone on internet enough to figure everything out on it.
