@ritu1337 mentioned yesterday this one was probably due to an issue with one of the proxies and should now be fixed. I haven't heard of any more instances of it from our customers since then, so it may be good to go.

I will still look into it to force a result locale by playing with parameters and see if it could be applied on a scale.
