Google doesn't even do a lot simpler things like searching by language or location. And the search is garbage. I am trying to learn Italian so that's what I am interested in but even when I enter a search term spelled correctly with its accents and everything I get anything from Brazilian Portuguese to French. They do a very helfpul translation of the term and return results that are unfortunately useless to me. (I would have loved to speak every language but I don't)

The default behaviour for multiple languages is bad, but the settings page for both region, and search results language work well. In case you haven’t seen the settings, yet.

  I wish. I have set English and Portuguese only, in that order, and it keeps showing me Spanish, Italian, French. Oh, and how about setting the default account among the many I’m logged in. Or the disable auto play setting that keeps getting reset every week.

On web search, you can append &lr=lang_it to the URL. Maybe make it into a Chrome extension.

  This does not seem to be doing anything. It's also being removed from the url bar when the page loads.

    Weird. It works for me (on google.com), including from an incognito window.
