How to Change Google Language from Thai to English

Image
Google giving you results in another language? This is one of the most annoying things when you migrate to another country. I am currently in Thailand and I encountered this problem. The Thai alphabet uses different characters, so it is quite hard to change the settings especially if you don't know how to read Thai script. It is okay if you are just for the holidays but if you are relocating indefinitely, you will find yourself longing for the results you are used to. Here's what you need to do, just follow the steps on the screenshots. First, click the gear icon on the upper right hand side of Google results. Click on the first entry. That is the settings button. Then, on the left side, click on the second entry, it is Pasa. It means Language in Thai. Next, click on the language selection button and choose, Pasa Angkrit . It means English Language. Click on the screenshot for reference. Now click the blue button at the bottom (Save) and that's it.

I tried it and it worked for some of my device but it didn't work for some. It worked for my point and shoot cameras but it didn't work with my old SLR (Canon Digital Rebel) and my smartphone (Nokia 5800 XM) connected via bluetooth.

Google Analytics is one of the most important tools if you have a website. You can analyze your web traffic and easily make changes depending on the data presented on it. One of Google Analytics feature that I always check is the site search overview. Why? Because it gives me ideas on what topic I should right next on my website.

If they’re searching from it on my site, it means that they are interested in that topic. Where can I see the searched terms or keywords on Google Analytics? In Google Analytics, go to Standard Reporting . On the left sid e click on Content , then Site Search > Overview . Click to enlarge But what if your Google Analytics site search is blank just like in the screenshot above? It means that Site Search tracking is disabled on your GA account. I first noticed this when I switched to the
