Google search: Interface Language Problem
« on: August 31, 2008, 11:23:57 AM »
I always set and save Interface Language in google search as English but
every time when I close my browser and restart, Interface Language becomes
the local language of the country that I am in.

How can I tell google to always use English as Interface Language? Whatever
I save, goes away after I close my browser.

I use FireFox and language is English there.

Anyway suggestions!

It should work... Did you try to get help from Google itself?

Well... it should be an English-only forum...
Could you please, go to an automated translation service, copy & paste your text and get, at least, an automated translation of your writings?
Thanks.

You need your Firefox to keep cookies from Google.  Otherwise, Google tries to adjust its interface language based on your IP address.

Apart from it being an English language forum, your comment isn't helpful to the original poster seeking help

There is also a firefox add-on that might help you, CustomizeGoogle, Preferences allows you to do much with the language options, see image. As has been said you need to enable cookies for google.

I have already installed CustomizeGoogle and set Interface Language to English but when I do google search through Search Engines (top right corner of FireFox), I gets reset to the local language.

Have you checked out your cookies?  Probably, I should have added this in my first post but the domain of the cookies should not only be google.com but your local google domain since you will be redirected to the local domain according to your IP address.  You can see this by simply looking at the URL window of your Firefox.  At least, this works in my environment.
