Error of profiles surname entry between danish & english language

Another PRO member; John Filip Jensen, added several new profiles on the 3. December 2014. Most of these came up with a Surname of Jensdatter on my home page. As Jensdatter - means Daughter of Jens in danish, I knew that this was an error, as no sons would be given this surname. Surname should have been Andersen.

I initially, didn't realize that the was a difference between my English (default) and danish language on the indivuals profile page, so I contacted John Filip Jensen, as for him to correct the error ( as if you enter sons and daughters under the mother, then they would get her surname automatically - and this was indeed Jensdatter) He could not see any error even with the link I sent him - which leads me to think he doesn't have english as a language?! I have asked him to check the "Tree", which for me shows these errors too but have not heard back yet. 

example:

I am, however, now convinced, that the error must come from you program somehow. Have the program had an update, which could have caused this?

I am using Chrome for my geni and have lately noticed that when entering location details, the automatic suggestion for location is to be found far above the field on the page - easily to be missed!
