List of regional versions of the Google search engine. Translated into the appropriate language, geopositioned in search and have a different set of functions.

Regions and Google Countries, Google in other Languages

To change regional Google versions you must click on the hyperlink or enter the specified URL into the address bar from the list below. To more accurately match the search results, it is recommended to change the language to the suggested one search engine, for example English for Samoa, and also, if possible, use a proxy server of the desired country. In order for the regional version of the search engine to work accurately, the search query must be entered not into the address bar of the browser, but into a special field on the page itself. Requests, of course, are best entered in the specified language.

Switch language Google search

Manually changing Google search regional settings

However, this may not be enough. Then it is recommended to use the manual method. There are specific search options hidden in the Google address bar, but they can be “revealed” and manipulated. To do this, enter the following link into the address bar:

http://www. google.com/search? hl= en& gl= us&q=russia

Regional domain ( google.com– USA)

Search and search language hl=(en – English) according to the international standard ISO 639-1

Code of the country gl=(us - USA) according to the international standard ISO 3166-1 alpha-2

The search query itself comes after q=, in this situation it is “russia”. By changing the domain, country code and language to the required one, you can achieve the clearest display of Google results in the country of interest. By changing the language values, you can find additional information; in this example, by replacing hl= from “en” to “ru” you can see what they write in the USA about Russia in Russian. The language of the request is also very important; it must be written in exactly the language in which the answer is needed. It is impossible to get correct results when requesting in Russian, for example in India.
After activating the above link, all queries entered in the query input field (not in the address bar!) will save the specified parameters, however, the link will change and many other values will be added that you should not pay attention to. Required parameters will be displayed and can be changed while working with a new request.

Below is a table of the required parameters, without specifying language codes. A complete list of codes for all countries in the world can be found in the CIA World Fact Book, and language codes on Wikipedia.
