I want www.google.com to open with english text not spanish :mad: :mad: , I suppose it automatically detects my location and displays everything in spanish. If I go to preferences and select "display text in english" or even by selecting "google.com in english" it still appears in spanish. It does mention that maybe I don't have cookies enables, of course I do. There is even a link
http://www.google.com.mx/cookies.html
notice that it says google.com.mx, and that text is displayed in english
Maybe it's because you're in Mexico and they speak spanish there.
but I want it in english :(
I did it once, but hasn't worked anymore. The only thing I did was change the perferences, but now even if I save my perferences, it's still in spanish

www.google.ca worked!! thanks!
You can also go here manually set it to display things in english.
Just don't be surprised if the results are followed by "eh". ;)Quote:
...which is the page you get if you click the "preferences" link next to the search bar on the main page.Quote:
did you just change the google settings?
You can also set your browser/OS language settings.

I always selected English text to be displayed in the preferences, but even if I click SAVE, it doesn't work
terry: everything in my computer is in english ;), there is no configuration or software in spanish, when installing windows, I select the region of the US that is central time, instead of Monterrey/Mexico City
I don't get the 'eh' part
PS: I have no hate toward my primary language (spanish), but when it comes to anything related to computers I perfer english
You could always use a proxy server thats located in the US, and when you access Google, it will pick up the proxy's domain instead of yours, giving you everything in English.
For a list of proxy servers go here:

or http://www.vanta.ru/hosting/proxy.php
thanks for the links, but uhm... I have to be sincere, I didn't understand how the demo works. BTW the second link doesn't work:(

that one is in a language maybe better understandable to you
You know, I was thinking that you're probably getting the spanish Google version because your IP address is associated with Mexico. This is why just setting it to english wouldn't work, every time you go there it defaults to Spanish because of the IP address. Don't know why the Canadian one would work though :p BTW, "eh" is just a colloquial word that some Canadians use at the end of a phrase.
