I do a lot of searches in French, where a lot of the words are identical to English (English being heavily influenced by French), especially if one leaves out the accents.

I also search in Spanish (Castilian), but sometimes I want results from Latin America, sometimes from Spain.

Being able to set the language/region is of incredible help in both cases. There is no way to automatically detect this.
