How do you make Google's interface always be in your chosen language?

I've been massively frustrated with the language changing across Google services. Pages would appear in Swedish regardless of my Google profile or browser settings.

I just found that setting the language in Google Search Settings magically seems to work as kind of a master switch for other Google services as well (how's that for consistency) - at least with the newest version of Chrome. Your mileage might vary, but give it a shot.

  1. Do any Google search
  2. Click on the Settings cog on far right -> Search Settings
  3. Choose a language for "Google products to use"

Setting language for Google services, through Search Settings

Be sure to also add your preferred language in Chrome's own language settings. This makes sure it doesn't e.g. offer your own language to be translated.


if you go to

www.google.com/ncr <-- no country redirect

it will stay there. Probably works for www.google.other_domains
