Tips & Warnings

• If you always search in one or more specific languages, you can select them and set them as your default search behavior in the Preferences section.
• If you can’t find your preferred language on the list, you can help Google set it up by joining the volunteer translator program at http://services.google.com/tcbin/tc.py.
• Be aware that by choosing a specific language you may be limiting the reach of your search since it will ignore relevant information in other languages. It is always advisable to use the search in all languages option.
