Google is in German

NuOpera?

In OleOpera (Presto) it's easy.
Correction: in my as-if-localised 11.63, I get "www.google.com", but the interface is in Russian by default (though I AM logged in and my account's language set different), and I can not uncheck Russian from the results' languages (it's "pre-checked" and greyed out) - I can only add another one (which I did - and it survived).

Overall, Google itself is a bloody bastard - those language settings being not working properly on different projects (ignored?), persistent tracking of my location!.. X(

Open "Local State" on e text editor and change the country code on the following lines:

"location": {
      "country": "br",
      "country_from_server": "BR",

In your case they should be "UK".

Note: You should do it while Opera is closed.

What is this "Local State"?

What is this "Local State"?

A file that can be found on Opera's profile folder.

Should one CLOSE the browser first?

I just tried changing google.ru to google.com here - it saved, but the search's interface remained in as-if-Russian anyway. (Yes, I restarted.)

To edit the file? Yes.

Where is this profile and what should I insert - "BR" or "UK"?

Where is this profile

See OMenu > About Opera for the path to the profile folder. Or type opera:about on the address bar.

You should insert the country code that you want.

UK would be United Kingdom, US for USA, DE for Germany, FR for France and so on. There is a list here

I tried that.
I saw the path, went to the folder, searched manually, searched with the system searcher all the ways possible - nothing. Neither "profile" folder nor any "Local State" file.
If it must be there - what subfolder could it be?
I searched in my other Opera place too (in "Program files") - nothing as well.

You need to place a dot in 'Show hidden files and folders', found via the 'Tools/Folder Options...' menu option and then click the 'View' tab.

Where?
The folder in question was hidden alright - it's shown when I go to it directly one way or another still, so (as I said) I searched it.
Or are there more - like hidden-hidden/superhidden/megahidden folders?

This is a Opera Blink's file. IIRC you are still using Opera Presto.

Yup.
"About" says it's 11.61 - while for the long time I believed it'd been 'updated' to 11.63. (Strange.)
