Google Chrome Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 16, 2011

No matter what language settings I change to English (iGoogle, Google Search or Chrome) any search I perform always comes up in Filipino. The search results are mostly in English, but the instructions and menu are in Filipino. Yes, I am in the Philippines but don't speak or understand but very little Filipino. I've followed every suggestion from dozens of forums with no effect. So, every time I do a search I have to find "go to Google in English". It even appears in different places - sometimes at the top but mostly at the bottom. Why does this happen and how can I use Google.com as my default? I use XP pro SP3, Chrome and iGoogle.

Hi. Change the chrome language, chrome detects your language and IP location in order to provide you the best results. To change the language go to the tools menu in the top of the page, then to options, under the hood, language and spell checkers settings.
