Every time I go to pass through a Google page for something (e.g. to authenticate through my Gmail account), if I'm not logged in the page appears in the language of the country where I am (Dutch, in Belgium, which I don't speak), rather than the language of my browser or the language of my computer (English).
How could I change that and have Google page appear in English for me by default?
Place ?hl=en before the # sign in the URL. For example:
Becomes:
Go to Settings -> Under the Hood -> Web Content -> Languages and spell-checker settings and make sure the first language in the list is English (or English (United States)).
If you don't have it in the list, click Add to add it.
Webpage language preferences help Google Chrome determine the language it should use to display a webpage. To adjust your preferences, first click Languages and spell-checker settings to open the "Language and Input" dialog. Add or remove languages from the list, and drag to order them based on your preference.
From the Google help page on how to Adjust fonts, languages, and encodings (under Webpage language preferences).

Make sure your browser sends
enas the preferred language (visit http://echo.opera.com to check the Accept-Language header).Note that it's not enough to list only English – Google discards that, likely under the assumption that it's a meaningless default value (e.g. fresh browser install).
Instead, the browser needs to list both English with high priority and some other language with low priority. If at least two languages are listed, then Google will actually honor the request and will use the highest-priority language.
