Fix Google showing different language because of hyperlink options

google-bookslocalization

If I click on a link like https://books.google.it/books?id=_b8NAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA317&dq=%22dutch%20defence%22&hl=it&sa=X&ved=0CFMQ6AEwB2oVChMIlvGX3cb1xgIVAlkUCh0C-ApT#v=onepage&q=%22dutch%20defence%22&f=false , the page displays info in Italian, presumably because of query string containing hl=it. Apart from manually editing the URL to have hl=en, which feels like a hacky approach to me, how can I make it display in my default language?

Best Answer

Short answer

Remove &hl=it from the URL.

Explanation

The ht=it tells to the Google Books app to override the default language setting by using Italian.

The same apply to almost all the Google apps.
