      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.

              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.

              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.

                what should I insert - "BR" or "UK"?

                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.)
