Hi,

Using Google search always returns my results in Spanish because Google

the results in US Eglish and always have to do an extra mouse click on
'Google.com in English'

Apparently Google does not record that I always click on that and
adjusts the default language.

Anybody know how to set the default language for search?

Hugo


Google -> language tools (under "advanced") -> preferences



I use Google-chrome as browser and enter a search by entering it in the
URL/search bar. The resultant screen does not have 'advanced'.

How about

about:config
font.language.group;x-western
intl.accept_languages;en-us, en


Google-chrome does not have an 'about:config'.

Would not have replied if I knew you were using chrome. You didn't say
that in the OP. Sorry to waste your and my time.

Spanner, preferences, under the bonnet, web settings, languages and spell
checkers. (You can, in theory, have one without the other.)

I had a similar problem with Italian where I actually want to perform
some searches in English, some in Italian. I made myself a simple custom
(html) homepage with a form for google search with language selection. [1]

Maybe it can be helpful once modified to your use case...

Ciao,
Lorenzo.

Oh, if only it were that simple... Most internationalized websites
(including Google) seem to have completely given up on Accept-Language
headers[1] in favor of relying on IP geolocation. I'm an American expat
living in Sweden, so my browsers are set to send

Accept-Language: en-us, en, sv-se

Despite this, every time my Google cookie expires, it sends me the
Swedish version of the page. Setting language preferences on the client
side does *not* work[2] for Google or most other sites.


[1] apparently on the theory that "most users don't know how to set
their preferred lanuages, so the header specifies the browser's default
instead of the user's preference"

[2] even though it damn well should

Not to mention the ever-so-bothering location selection thingy which
always pops up in youtube whenever I delete my cookies :-| ...

Or try and force you to register and (maybe always) log-in so you can
"save your preferences"

Are you sure this is not also Google's geolocation feature?
Firefox/Iceweasel => about:config => geo.enabled (double-click to disable)

Chrome => spanner_thingie => Options => Under the hood => Location => Do
not allow any site to track my physical location

You can test here:-
http://benwerd.com/lab/geo.php

There used to be are Google url that did the same thing
(www.google.com/nl or similar) I cant' remember the what it was - and
whether it still works.

Cheers
