Potential Causes & Solutions:
- ·
Browser or Device Language Settings: Your operating system or web browser might be configured to Korean. Google often defers to these settings.
- ·Fix: Navigate to your device's or browser's language preferences and ensure English is set as the primary or preferred language. For example, in Chrome, this is typically under Settings > Languages.
- ·
Google Search Language Settings: Google itself has language preferences tied to your account or browser. Even if your device is English, Google might be set to display results in Korean.
- ·Fix: After performing the search, scroll to the bottom of the Google results page and look for 'Settings' -> 'Search settings' -> 'Languages'. Verify that English is selected.
- ·
Location/Region Settings or VPN Use: If Google detects your physical location as Korea (e.g., if you are currently in Korea or using a VPN routed through Korea), it might prioritize Korean content for relevance.
- ·Fix: Disable any VPNs that are set to Korean servers. On the Google search results page, you can often find 'Region' settings at the bottom to explicitly set your current location.
- ·
Cached Preferences or Google's Interface Language: Old browser data or the overall Google interface language can sometimes cause this.
- ·Fix: Try searching in an Incognito/Private browsing window to see if the issue persists. If it resolves, clearing your browser's cache and cookies might help. Additionally, check the very bottom of the Google homepage for a language selection (it might say "한국어") and switch it to "English" if it's set to Korean.
By systematically checking these settings, you should be able to correct the display language for Google AI Overviews and receive your summaries in English.
