> that changes other things that I don't want, like currency.

Oh god Google is so bad at this. They don't even let me change the currency in many cases when looking at hotels (yes on the website; not in the Google Maps app)

Google is so ridiculously bad at this, when an account that only ever uses English is explicitly asking for English search results, but happens to be located in Thailand, it will give you English results, but use the Thai calendar to display years, which is 543 years ahead of the Gregorian calendar. Are there any people at all who expect to read English text but expect to see the year 2568 instead of the year 2025, when no part of their system or account is configured for Thai?
