Google is everyone’s go-to place to find anything on the internet. By default, the Google search and other apps appear in the English language. If you are, however, getting Google search results in a different language, or if you want to switch language on Google, you are at the right place. You can change Google language settings from your computer and phone.
Let’s find out the best ways to change the Google search language.
Change Google Language on PC or Mac
Search results, controls, and options on Google and its products mostly show up in English. You can easily change this from the Google Language settings and set your local language. Once you change this, it becomes easy for you to use Google search and other services. Below is how you can change Google language from your computer.
From your PC, open a browser and go to Google.com.
Click the “Settings” at the bottom right corner of the screen and select “Search Settings.”
Now, a window with Google settings will appear. Click “Languages” from the left pane.
On this screen, you have options to change Google products display language as well as search language. To change the Google language across other Google services including Gmail, look under “Which language should Google products use?” and choose one.
Click “Save” to set your preferred language from Google language settings. To preserve the settings, log in to your Google account first (which will save your personal data on your Google account). Plus, make sure to enable cookies on your browser.
