Why Does Google Keep Changing My Language? (And How to Fi...
Samuel Thuku · 2026-05-17 · via DEV Community

Have you ever searched for something on your browser and suddenly Google decides you now speak a completely different language just because of where you are? 😂

Maybe you searched for a programming tutorial and got results in French.
Maybe you traveled somewhere and your browser started showing local language websites you never asked for.
Or maybe Google saw your IP address and thought:

“Ah yes, this person definitely wants everything translated.”

Meanwhile you are just trying to search in peace. 😭

The good news is that there’s a permanent fix.

Instead of letting Google guess your language and region based on your location, you can customize the Google search engine URL so your browser always forces:

  • English results
  • English interface
  • US-based search ranking
  • Minimal personalization
  • No annoying country redirects

And the best part?

It does NOT slow down your internet or increase latency.

The Permanent Fix

We are going to create a custom Google search engine URL.

Use this URL:

https://www.google.com/ncr/search?q=%s&hl=en&gl=us&lr=lang_en&pws=0

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What each part means:

hl=en

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Forces Google interface language to English.

gl=us

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Makes Google prioritize US-style search results.

lr=lang_en

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Prioritizes English-language pages only.

pws=0

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Reduces personalized search results.

ncr

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Means “No Country Redirect.”
Stops Google from redirecting you to country specific domains like:

  • google.fr
  • google.de
  • google.co.ke

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

Chrome

Open:

chrome://settings/searchEngines

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Click:

Add

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then enter:

Search Engine:
Google English

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 

Shortcut:
g

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 

URL:
https://www.google.com/ncr/search?q=%s&hl=en&gl=us&lr=lang_en&pws=0

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now click:

Save

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then click the 3 dots beside the new search engine and choose:

Make Default

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Done ✅

Microsoft Edge

Open:

edge://settings/searchEngines

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Click:

Add

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Enter:

Search Engine:
Google English

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 

Shortcut:
g

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 

URL:
https://www.google.com/ncr/search?q=%s&hl=en&gl=us&lr=lang_en&pws=0

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Save it and set it as default.

Done ✅

Firefox

Open:

about:preferences#search

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Firefox handles this a little differently.

Create a new bookmark with this URL:

https://www.google.com/ncr/search?q=%s&hl=en&gl=us&lr=lang_en&pws=0

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then assign a keyword like:

g

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now whenever you type:

g your search here

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Firefox will use your custom Google setup.

Done ✅

Bonus Tip: Disable Browser Location Access

Even after changing the search URL, some browsers still share your location.

You can disable that too.

Chrome / Edge

Open:

chrome://settings/content/location

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

or:

edge://settings/content/location

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Then choose:

Don't allow sites to see your location

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Done ✅

Final Result

After this setup:

  • Google stops changing languages randomly
  • Search results stay in English
  • Country redirects disappear
  • Results become more consistent
  • Your browser behaves the same no matter where you travel

No VPN required.
No extensions required.
No slowdown.

Just clean, predictable Google searches.
