Google is particularly bad about this, they basically make it impossible to get normal English-language results if you're in another country, unless you mess with the URL parameters (gl=us).
Like if you're in Germany, you can set Google's language to English, but you're gonna get mainly German results for any search. A bizarre choice.
- terhechte 5y agoI'm German, I live in Germany, and I too hate this behaviour. I rarely want out of date badly translated variations of the original US topics.
- kzrdude 5y agoIt's myopic by google. I speak more than one language, "belong" to more than one country, but google makes it very hard to find relevant results that are not narrowed-down to the country I'm in right now.
