    Google news problem

    My Google has been in English for a very long time. I am a news junkie and go to the Google section several times a day. For the past three days when I click the news tab in the "even more" Google section it goes to an all Thai language page. I have not changed anything and no one else uses this computer. The rest of Google is in English....

    Why has it happened?

    How do I get it back to English?

    Also a few months ago the news appeared as a tab on my Google home page - how do I get that back.

    don't know if this will help or not but you could try going into the control panel then regional and language options and set your location to USA .
