Google has always been a pain when it comes to internationalisation.

The number of hoops you have to jump through to get results from the actual Google page when you are outside of the US is mind boggling. I don’t even know if it’s still possible.

Do you mean results in English, or results that are specifically US-centric?

Not op. But my experience is both. It's impossible to get Google to search for a specific region in a specific language. DuckDuckGo is far better on this. You can use add regions to search for, and quickly toggle them.
It's the same on Youtube, it's still impossible to search videos by language.
