3. On the bottom of the page you will find Language in Google products and Language of Search Results.
4. The main Search Results language always matches the Language in Google Products.
5. When you add additional languages to the Search Results, Google still prioritize the main (first) on this list.
6. To change the main language, you need to change the Language in Google Products (in our testing we needed to additionally remove the additional language (English) to guarantee that the only signals related to Search Language).
7. Even when you change the ‘Language in Google Products’ in Chrome, the language setting in the Google Account will not be impacted. If you access the Language settings on your Google Cloud account after this change you will receive a note “Some products are not using [Language]” with the option to ”CHANGE ALL”.

NOTE: Search Language Settings is available in Google Chrome, but not in Google App.
