Why does my search results display in Korean despite all my settings saying that my default should be American English? (Yes, I am in Korea, but don't understand Hangul.)
I am in Korea on Business and do not speak the language. I am an American and all of my settings on my computer and browser reflect this. However whenever I type in www.google.com I am automatically redirected to http://www.google.co.kr/. When I do a search from here it is in Hangul and I don't understand it. How can I get all pages to display in English? Is there an automatic translator that does this?

It is Google that is redirecting you automatically to a local version of Google based on where your IP is locating you.
You can use this link: http://www.google.com/ncr (no country redirect).
You can get additional Google search engines here including a 'No country redirect' version on the Mycroft Project website.

Thank you I am now more educated about Google, and the intricacies of being in other parts of the world. This solution proved perfect and I set my homepage to reflect the "/ncr" which works perfectly.
