Try adding ?hl=en to the URL. A similar situation happened to my wife after visiting Germany, we had to edit her cookies and clear the "hl" parameter (IIRC) because various random Google sites were entirely in German.

If only browsers sent some kind of message to the server to tell it what languages you'd prefer

They do, and have since at least the mid 90s. But most users don't know how to set this preference, so Google assumes GeoIP is the One Source Of Truth(TM) for language (apart from hl= and being signed in).

I don't think you had your sarcasm filter turned on there.

"Try adding ?hl=en to the URL"

How about suing a new fucking search engine, DDG or Bing?!!! Do this for that, that for that and we'll need a college degree on Google searching. I travel so my searches used to automatically transfer to google.cctld. No thanks!

[randomhunt]

Yeah but as Google do it so does Bing (after all why not copy Google's arrogance as well)

Just in case anyone is interested for Bing you have to use "?mkt=en-GB" (for example)
