Forcing Google Advanced Search to display in English

Google Advanced Search, by default, only shows the local language for anonymous users and there is no language selection option for change.  If you don't understand the local language, it is definitely a nightmare.

To overcome this, simply appending the language parameter on the URL will ease your mind.  For example, if you want the page (https://www.google.com/advanced_search) to display in English, simply add a question mark ( ? ) followed by hl=en parameter to the end of the URL.  Language specific can also go along with the region info, e.g.,  hl=en-us.

https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en

https://www.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en-us

Forcing Blogger to Display Your Favorite Language

Blogger was acquired by Google in February 2003.  Like Google, it always uses IP address to identify viewers' geographical locations for language display.  It doesn't offer language selection for viewers.  If you own a blog under blogger and have already logged in, you will be able to control the language display via the blogger settings.  For others, they could see foreign language as per their IP locations.  In order to force blogger to display your favorite language,  you can simply append a query string (a key-value pair) to the end of  URL along with a question mark (?) prefix .  This method applies to Blogger URL without parameters.  Otherwise, replace the question mark (?) prefix with an ampersand (&).

This technique also applies to Google Search and most Google related products.
