Security question in different language then english or dutch.

So, this might be a odd question or problem. 

When you want to rename your ingame id, you got to login, and awnser the security question to proceed. Whenever i reach that point, my question is spelled out in somekind of asian language. 

I can't copy it to my clipboard and use google translate or something. Can someone help me changing the language so i can change my account settings? 

All other language, ingame or outside are in english or dutch so that seems to work fine. 

Thanks in advance.

    @albertvdwal Hi, unfortunately it sounds like your account may have been compromised. The questions are saved as they're originally written, and would only change if they were rewritten manually. 

    I recommend running a malware scan and changing any shared passwords, then reach out to support. They can revert your security question and help to add some extra security to your account.

    Oh there may not be any malware, but it's definitiely something worth checking for. Best to check unnecessarily than not check and miss something. 

    Good luck!
