Using AOL in Germany
 
When I log on to aol.com from a German computer, it automatically switches to aol.de. Is there any way to override this so the English screen comes up? I like to be able to read the news headlines,etc. in English.

Right at the bottom of the AOL.de home page you will see AOL international. Click on that then choose the AOL you want.

Did you try AOL.US ??

Thanks. What is the German word for international?

German for internation is.. well.. international.

Follow hetismij's description and scroll to the very bottom of AOL.de's homepage.
In the fine print you will find "AOL International".
This will take you to a world map where you click on "AOL auf Englisch" which stands right next to AOL USA on the map.

just be careful when you type in passwords. When I use PC in Germany, I find some letters (like y and z) are in different places from English keyboard.
