I am attempting to install the Firefox program on my computer. However, since I live in Japan, somehow all the writing on the Google portion comes up in Japanese. How do I change the language to English?

Looks like you are using the en-US version of Firefox however it is probably going by your IP location.


http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=873 If you'd rather use a different Google site, like Google.com, no matter where you are, try one of the following tips:

   Click the Google.com link on any other domain.
   Choose a Google domain manually by visiting the Language Tools page (the section with the flags).
   Bookmark http://www.google.com/ncr. This is an alternative web address for Google.com that always takes you to Google.com without redirecting you.
