How to change the region and language of Google Search on Android?
Imagine that you want to get results related to the country where you plan to go on vacation, for example. Or you want to use search terms in another language Google only references that result in that language. Changing the system language from the settings would allow you to alter the search engine; with the drawback that the whole phone would also adapt to the change.
The Google search engine allows you to customize the region and language from the page settings. To do this you need to perform the following steps:
- Open your mobile browser and go to the Google page (Google.com).
- Look at the bottom of the page and click on ‘Settings’.
- Go to ‘Search settings’.
- To change the region of the results scroll down to that menu and choose the country you want from the drop-down.
The language that Google will choose will be the language of the region you have chosen.
You can also check the ‘Add another language’ drop-down menu. Click and choose the one you want. To restrict the results to the selected language you will have to select it from the search engine home page. You can easily switch between languages
By combining region and language you can make Google search relate to a different territory than the one you are currently in and you can easily revert the changes by setting your initial region and language from the same settings.
Please note that you are not only customizing Google search on your mobile browser: the changes are applied to your account, so if you use the search engine on your tablet or computer, Google will return show results in the new language you have chosen.
