告诉 HN:谷歌无视英语搜索,强制本地化结果

48作者: jeanlucas6 个月前
谷歌搜索的变化让我似乎无法选择退出。<p>我居住在一个非英语国家,但我经常用英语搜索,尤其是在技术主题方面。<p>我的谷歌账号、笔记本电脑、手机、界面语言和偏好设置都是英语;只有我的实际位置和支付方式是本地的。<p>现在的情况是,谷歌越来越多地返回我母语的本地化结果,并积极应用自动翻译。<p>我看到的一些具体行为包括:<p>- 即使存在等效的英语来源,用英语编写的查询仍然优先显示葡萄牙语页面。<p>- Reddit结果经常被强制翻译,而不是链接到原始的英语内容。<p>- “AI模式”的回复总是用葡萄牙语,即使提示明显是英语,也没有明显的方法来强制输出语言。<p>- 用户界面提供了“葡萄牙语”和“所有网页”之间的选择,但选择“所有网页”并不能可靠地返回英语结果,也不能禁用翻译。<p>- 实际上,明确的查询语言似乎被推断的用户偏好(位置/账户语言)所覆盖。<p>我很好奇其他人是否也看到了同样的行为,以及是否有任何方法可以恢复搜索,使其再次变得100%有用;或者你们都在使用什么,因为这确实限制了搜索结果,尤其是在技术方面。

Google Search change in a way that I can’t seem to opt out of.<p>I’m based in a non-English-speaking country, but I regularly search in English, especially for technical topics.<p>My Google account, my laptop, my phone, my interface language, and preferences are all set to English; only my physical location and payment methods are local.<p>What happens is that Google increasingly returns localized results in my native language and aggressively applies automatic translation.<p>Some concrete behaviors I’m seeing:<p>- Queries written in English still prioritize pages in Portuguese, even when equivalent English sources exist.<p>- Reddit results are often force-translated instead of linking to the original English content.<p>- “AI mode” responses are always in Portuguese, even when the prompt is clearly in English, with no visible way to force output language.<p>- The UI offers a choice between “Portuguese” and “All web,” but selecting “All web” doesn’t reliably return English results nor disable translation.<p>- In practice, explicit query language seems to be overridden by inferred user preferences (location &#x2F; account language).<p>I’m curious whether others are seeing the same behavior, and whether there’s any way to restore search to become 100% useful again; or what are you using since this really limits search results, especially for technical things.
