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.
| Sample Languages | Add Query String Portion including question mark (?) |
|---|---|
| English (United States) | ?hl=en |
| French (France) - français (France) | ?hl=fr |
| German - Deutsch | ?hl=de |
| Chinese (Hong Kong) - 中文（香港) | ?hl=zh-HK |
| Japanese - 日本語 | ?hl=ja |
| e.g., https://www.blogger.com/profile/08199735935642753756?hl=en | |
