I have Gmail and all language settings I could find there are set to US English.
However, when I type "googlemaps" in my search bar and click on the link https://maps.google.com/ it will show me the map in Arabic language which I can not read. Does anybody know what I need to do in order to set it back to English?
There are two ways to do this that do not require logging in to a Google account.
Cookies: Go to google.com/ncr. This will set a cookie in your browser saying that you want to view the US English version of Google. This will apply to all google services such as Maps until you clear cookies.
Query strings: You can also just append ?hl=en to the end of the URL. For example: maps.google.com?hl=en. If you want to do it this way, it's worth reading about how query strings are formatted since you might run into issues if one is already in the URL.
Ok, I finally found it out myself. I share to maybe allow someone else with the same annoying problem to save some valuable time of his life.
First I went to this page: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2539428?hl=en&rd=1
Point 1 holds a link to Search Settings which I clicked. Now with me, this new page rendered in Arabic. I had to click around until I found some language selections with radio buttons. There I selected english and saved with the blue shaped button. After that, finally no more Arabic. HTH
Just log in to your Google account. Click the 'Log In' blue button at your upper left. It should solve the problem, if you've saved English as you preferred language.

Recently there is this "Search images with Google Lens" in the contextual menu (triggered from the right click) in Chrome browser, which is super useful.
For those who doesn't know yet, if you click on that item you can define a screenshot area and then Google Lens page opens with the image you just framed. And then it lets you search for "things" inside this image.
What I try to do is to find a way to assign a hotkey to trigger that menu item without being forced to use the mouse (e.g. ctrl + alt + s). The reason I want to do that is because I overuse this functionality and I am in a keyboard-over-mouse increase productivity mind of set.
My first thinking was to make a page script that would trigger that contextual menu and click the item but as far as I know there is nothing in the JavaScript API with that much power
(There is this " JavaScript - simulate click on contextmenu " but they are not talking about the native Chrome contextual menu I believe.)
Another option would be to use some key automation program like AutoHotKey in windows but there is one problem, the contextual menu is not always located in the same position relative to the mouse (e.g. if the menu is triggered at the bottom of the page it will appear above the mouse pointer).
Other than that I don't really see another solution.
I am digging for some idea and maybe you could help me if you are interested in the same outcome.
EDIT: For whoever may be interested
I made this python script
https://github.com/vdegenne/lens-clicker
It works on my computer, I can now get the result I want. But I keep this question opened for more ideas, seeking a better solution.
(You can also contribute to the project on the GitHub page).
I use Vimium, an extension to allow vim-like keybindings for browser navigation.
You can add search engines, for example Google Lens as so:
i https://lens.google.com/uploadbyurl?url=%S Google Lens
So once I have the URL of the image in the clipboard, I type o, i, Space, Ctrl + v, Enter
I'm working on finding a way of getting the URL of the image, but am not sure Vimium supports this. If not, using the URL template (above) to search Google Lens is still a much more robust way than by automating clicks on a menu, so hopefully that's helpful.
I'm Guillaume a french beginner in google app script editor.
I have a problem with autocomplete feature. It would works with the dot (.) and in my case, autocomplete works with semi column (;) or crtl+space but it's not easy to use.
It mean that autocomplete displays something when I "close" a command or a line.
How can I change that please ?
I tried to change the language of the editor in English but it's the same problem.
It looks like there is an issue with AZERTY keyboards. A work-around would be changing your keyboard layout to english, like US. You can click on the star next to the issue number (at top) to subscribe and give more priority to the report.
If the title isn't clear, then hopefully this description will clear it up.
What I wanted was for a user to highlight a word on any given webpage and then that word will be searched up on Google Search (as in google.com). I have explored custom search engine but I dont need to create a whole other search engine. I just need to have whatever was highlighted to be searched up in a new tab. Is there a specific from Google for this?
Thanks for your time and help.
I will be using JavaScript if that matters.
Assuming you are using Google Chrome (as your tag indicates, to me anyways), highlighting a selection then right-click will give you the option to search with your default search engine and open the result in a new tab.
It is unclear exactly what functionality you want and what you are writing. Is it a Chrome extension?
OK. So first, I will try my best to explain so good. My friend has gotten cursed out on this forum for not explaining, so I will explain. :)
Ok so I have my program built and all. But then it hit me! Wouldn't it be better to add a news feature? One teeny tiny problem? I cant? How would I implement a interactive code into an HTML page.
Like can i connect a button to a URL that will make the program do something. Almost like you can open cydia tweaks with there identifier and url EXAMPLE: http://handleopenurl.com/scheme/cydia And then i can add urls so i can update the program, without updating the files.
Or even just a featured news thing would be nice. But how would i implement this perfectly. I tryed a webrowser, but the page is too big for it. I am good at html, not much at css, i mostly use Adobe Muse http://www.adobe.com/Muse
Last question. Kinda defies the first thing i said about having my program finished.
Is there a way i can add a plus button and make it add more buttons and more labels and all?
This would help with allowing users to customize more then what the program can handle. By The Way, its a winter board Theme Maker. So I have a bunch of icons with there bundle identifiers and I create the folders with VB.net and all that stuff. But i want users to be able to click a plus button to add MORE text boxes and file browsers.
Any ideas? Maybe DIM 1 as NewFileBrowser? But i need to move all the buttons and i need it to be able to be clicked an infinity amount of times. I can do the coding for all of these buttons, but i jest need to know how to create them <1 Move them and the button so that the button goes further down each time, and more boxes will go further down. Much help apreciated. THANKS:)
EDIT:
Are you trying to say that you're wondering how to have a web browser control in a vb.net >app, which displays a web page, and when a button is clicked on the page, your app detects >it and does something? – Thraka
That sums up the top part. I am using windows forms, and it is coded in VB.net
If you get the object you want, like the button, you can hook the event and have it call code in your form.
Find the object using the Browser.Document.GetElementById method.
With that object, add an event handler to the Click event.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.htmlelementeventhandler(v=vs.110).aspx for information about the event handler used
I use a VPN to connect to the internet with and am using google chrome browser.
Annoyingly, I get a pop-up message regularly asking me if I want to continue using google.se instead of searching with google.de, for example. Pressing no only satisifies it for a short time before asking again and there are no options to turn this off.
I cut and pasted but worked for me:
Or you can just add "/ncr" to the URL of the google site you want and it'll keep you there - eg
NCR stands for No Country Redirect.
