    Uhhh…. Yes it does. I live in Spain and speak English, I’m not signed in, it’s down at the bottom of their page under settings or it will ask you like you see below. No vpn needed. And for apps on your phone it uses the regional setting, but most you can choose the default language in app settings.

      I do live in Spain and speak English too and it mixes English and Spanish. I have it set for both interface and results in English.

      It is most egregious when looking for video games and products as their names appear in Spanish websites.

      Google front page(mobile version) with the interface in English and detecting Spain as region

      Google results page, English interface, for HP EliteBook, the two first results are from HP and Amazon, the results are in Spanish

      The results scrolled down, more results in Spanish, the “People also ask” only shows queries in Spanish

      Google search page for “rj45 cable UTP or STP”, the interface is in English and the first result is in Spanish

      Google result page for the video game “Voice of Cards” showing part of the “people also ask” section in English, the results show a mixture of English and Spanish results, including 3 video results which two of them are in Spanish

      Adding the word “review” doesn’t always filter out the Spanish pages as it is adopted in tech websites. Google result page for the search “voice of cards review”, three results shown, one of them in Spanish

      EDIT: Typos
