How to change Google search language
To ensure that you are less likely to see sites in your current language and prioritize sites in your chosen language, change the language of Google services.
However, this does not mean that you will no longer be shown results in search results in languages other than the selected one. The fact is that search results are generated based on many factors, for example, the language of your web browser and the language of previously viewed websites.
If you do not want to change the language of all Google services, but want to change only the preferred language of the search results, then go to the website https://www.google.com/, search and click on the gear located to the right of the search bar.
In the menu that appears, select the “Language” item.
Select the desired search language and save your changes.
