[操作疑難] Latest problem with Google search page

anon893

This problem happened just days ago...
Normally, when you visit Google search main page (eg. Ggl HK), you have the language choices (Ch/En) and when you choose Chinese for example, subsequent search pages will also be shown in your preferred language (ie. Chinese in this case)...
And even if after you login w/Google, if you change your search page language preference, all subsequent search page results will in in your chosen language...

However, now if you log into Ggl and browse the search page (eg. Google HK), the page will automatically default into English, but even after you change language preference (eg. Chinese), the mail Ggl search page and all subsequent search results will still be reverted back to English page

Also, after Ggl login, even if you change your language preference under your Ggl profile, the Ggl search page will still revert back to English...

Seems that the home language parameter "hl=**" is being ignored for some reason...

For now the temporary fix will be to manually add back the parameter "hl=zh-HK" (or "hl=zh-TW") on the actual URL
eg. for Ggl HK page,
"www.google.com.hk/webhp?hl=zh-HK"
Once you add back the "hl" parameter, all subsequent search results will revert to your language of choice (ie. Chinese in this case)

Also, if you change switch language under the main search page then decide to revert back, then the same problem discussed above will remain, w hich means you'll have to manually add back to "hl" parameter on the URL

This is a real annoyance which needs serious user attention...
Somebody needs to inform Google on this bug so that fixes can be issued

No use, the bug has nothing to do with the browser but instead the Ggl service itself

In fact with Chrome things get even worse on mobile, becuz once your phone has your Ggl account logged in, Chrome is almost automatically logged in as well, which points to the problem in question...

Even worse, with mobile Chrome environment, you CANNOT easily edit the URL easily (unlike FF) to add back the necessary search parameters...
You must copy the entire URL (into clipboard) first, then paste URL and add back the parameters, before you proceed......

This bug is very inconvenient and will definitely affect search results to huge extent...
It needs to be addressed to Ggl ASAP
