google-searchlocalization
For example, sometimes I want to search by a Japanese keyword and get Japanese results (Japanese websites). To do this, I go to https://www.google.co.jp and search. However, it always returns English results.
Going to .co.jp means I want to seach Japanese sites; why doesn’t Google follow this simple rule?
If I change the language in config to Japanese, I have to change it back later, which is inconvenient.
Any idea?
Try the lr parameter format — &lr=lang_short_language_code.
English — en: &lr=lang_en
Ukrainian — uk: &lr=lang_uk
All language codes can be found in the source on advanced settings page.
You can modify the url parameter hl in this way:
hl=en (for English)hl=ru (for Russian)hl=de (for German) and so on.
Another possibility is to use yubnub search engine. You can define a new custom command to get search result in desired language.
Suppose that you want to get Google Search result in Russian, you can define a command called goru with url defined as https://www.google.com/#hl=ru&output=search&q=%s. You can define other command like goit (Italian), gode (German) and so on by substituting the hl= part with correspondent language abbreviation.

You can probably get around it by bookmarking the language-redirect param,
hl. This means appending to the URL:?hl=languageCode?otherParam=foo&hl=languageCodeFor example:
If you would prefer not to click on a bookmark, you can force it to redirect every time you visit the homepage on that domain with a userscript. But that is more complicated and fragile.
