Doing that tends to make stuff worse. I've lived in countries where I don't speak the local language and despite everything being configured to use English, via IP detection some sites decide to just show me content in the local language when I'm trying to log in. Paypal is notorious for this.

While I can deal with an Indonesian UI (I do for Google Maps, can't be bothered to change it all the time), dealing with Indonesian search results in harder.
