By the way, under the search engine in Google how many language options does it give you?
If you are in Germany let’s say, you click on IE, Google comes on, you click on English, and then, you click on Google.com (at the right bottom of Google homepage, or you just go to Google.com.) Does the language option change to German on you just because you chose dot com, instead dot.de? This is not not necessarily about Germany by the way.

Edited: Under the search box in Google’s hompepage. “Google.de is offered in: ...” and you click on English. Then you click on Google.com. What happens to the language option that you chose? Does it change back to the default language or stay English?
Your edited post came on after my response to you.
I’m not talking about Google Translate at all.
…I’m referring to Google search result language @gailcalled. And I just gave Germany as just an example.
Google uses cookies to store your settings, unless you’re logged in to a Google account, in which case settings are stored in your account. By choosing a language while on a Google site that uses a country code (.de, .ca, etc.), it sets the cookie to default to that language on the locale you are on. However, if you have cookies off in your browser, the language will only remain as you chose it until you navigate away from Google.
