For some unknown reason, whenever I visit Google.com at http://www.google.com the interface defaults to Traditional Chinese.
I have to manually click "Singapore Google" to go to http://www.google.com.sg for the English version.
Is there some way to set English as the default language for Google?
Thanks in advance...
Later days. |

Seems google checks IP address. Showing of index page is based on your local IP or proxy it detects.

a friend of mine recently did this to me too (as a joke)
here's how i managed to rectify it:
when at the google main page,
click on preferences... thats the middle link to the right of the area where you type your search keywords
from the drop-down box... choose something which isn't all greek to you
(personally i chose xxxxxx (Elmer Fudd))
click on the button you see at the top right of the page
click again on the preferences link
(in this case... thts "Pwefewences"  )
choose english (engwish) from the drop-down menu
click on the "Save Pwefewences" button
DONE! 
good luck

I'm having that dilemma as well .. . seeing words/phrases in my native lingo (Tagalog/Philippines) - good thing that I can manage understanding it, but as before, I still prefer the English language!  |
