Google Trends – Fix Display Language Issue

firefoxgooglegoogle-chromegoogle-trendslocalization

I'm having a problem with Google trends: it keeps coming up in what it looks like Chinese.

I tried to eliminate several potential causes:

  1. Signed out of my Google account -> still in Chinese.
  2. Signed in with a different account -> still in Chinese.
  3. Deleted all of the cookies -> still in Chinese.
  4. Checked that my IP is not geolocated in China -> it's geolocated in the US.

I'm using Firefox 19.0.2, but when I try with Chrome it works just fine and Google Trends shows up in English. Any ideas what might be happening and/or how to fix it?

Here is what it looks like:

What happens is this: Google saves a state of your "current language" in their servers. They probably use this to customize ads for you.
This "?hl=en" parameter tells Google you prefer a different language (English in this example). It works across all their services.
