2. Highlight the Google (default) and click Edit.
3. Highlight the URL and copy it (ctrl + c). Then click Cancel.
4. Click Add, enter Name like “Google English” and put anything in Keyword, it won’t matter.
5. Paste in the URL the one you copied and change {google:baseURL} to http://www.google.com/
6. Click OK and Make Default. Any keywork now you enter in the address bar will now have the english version.

November 29, 2012Ok… What do you do if there is no wrench in the upper right corner. I’m looking at a new download of Chrome and it is setting language based on my IP. For a smart system, it is pretty dumb to not just check language preferences before slamming you into a different language setting!
