Hello,
I need your help. Since a few days all Google specific buttons on websites like ReCaptcha, cookies etc. and also city names on Maps are in Cyrillic language instead of German on my phone. On all Google Apps like Maps it's correct in German language.
Why this happened and how can I change it..strange...
Thanks.
Wipe the browser cache (cookies), and if that doesn't help, the android cache.
I figured it out. As second language was added in the Chrome App settings Belarussian language. I don't know why. I removed it there, now it's fine again.

Hello all,
I just cannot believe what I am seeing!
I currently use CyanogenMod 7 and was sad because I couldn't find voice search in the Market.
After a quick look in the Web Market, I just learn that my Carrier (Base, Belgium) does not allow (see attached screenshot)
After Googling, I just feel alone because no one else reported same issue
Just installed Market Enabler and everything is fine.
I am just astonished to see that such a basic app is country-dependant
Same thing happened to me i just reflashed the rom.. and ofcourse wipe dalvik and wipe data/cache and it went away hope it helps

Lol! Funny thread
Why is that a funny thread?
Because you live in America and you have access to all Google services?
Please think about all other countries that have to cross their fingers each time there is a new product/service/application to know if that will be available in their country.
That's just amazing that we have no information on why we have access to a limited services and having restriction on basic stuff like voice search because we live in other country than America.
I guess voice search is tailored for each language? Hence the lack of support. I know voice search initially supported only English, more languages were added later on. If your language is currently not supported, I guess that would be the reason why it's not available in your country.
Google voice search work pretty well in english and french-dutch-german (our 3 national langages)
Just tried every langage with amazing results.
I had the same issue with YouTube.apk. Market Enabler fixed it again for me, but I remember Google having removed the region-related conditions on app-purchasing... what's up with that?
Hello,
i've got a very annoying problem in Chrome on my Nexus 4 (posting this here, as it should be the same for the Nexus 5). I've changed my phone language settings to Spanish a few months ago, but didn't like that Chrome was sending this information to every page, resulting in Spanish google results and so on. So i changed the system language back to English. However, Chrome is still apparently sending the information to display the Spanish version of every page i'm visiting. It's very annoying and it's been months since i've changed it back to English, and it's still doing this.
Any idea how i can fix this?
EDIT - short version: The browser itself is English, but it's requesting the Spanish version of websites - even though system language is set to English.
Does nobody have an idea how i can fix this?
Clear Chrome's data or factory reset the phone

Clear google chrome data/cache and reconnect your Google account with chrome.. If it's still Spanish then check whether the Google account you have connected has Spanish set in it's settings?!

Uninstall chrome and reinstall chrome beta, while your at it, click on settings and bandwidth you can save 33%through compression etc. I'm lucky to be on 3 UK but those who are not it's a good saving

Thanks, deleting the data actually worked!
I ran into a problem with the recent update to the Google Text-To-Speech app.
I was testing out and trying to decide between the new high quality US and UK English voices. Somehow my default language for speech got locked into UK English: I can no longer change it to anything else, even though my default device language is US English and I have downloaded both the low and high quality US English voices.
See my screenshots - despite me changing my chosen language to US English in the Google Text-to-speech Engine settings in the 1st screenshot, once I hit the back button (or exit via the home / recent apps buttons), my default language reverts to UK English as per the 2nd screenshot.
Is there any system file I can edit to change this absurd behaviour? I'm rooted and willing to get my hands dirty...
UPDATE:
I played around with settings and managed to resolve the problem.
Clearing data from / un- and re-installing the app / restoring data from another device didn't work - what did work was choosing another default device language (NOT the voice language under Text-to-speech output). This somehow released the "lock" on UK speech and allowed me to choose US instead. I then reverted the default device language to US English.
All is now good in the world :victory:
Trying going to Google Text-to-speech or Google TTS, whichever one it is, in the app settings and clear data.

That was one of the first things I tried, but it didn't help.
Anyway I managed to resolve the problem already. Gonna update the OP.

Any way to fix that? Play Books shows me nearly all russian books, and very few english ones. I do not even understans Russian so why are they there? Any way to hide them? There arw no options in settings to edit language, and there are no other threads in internet about this issue.
Hi,
I just flashed the nexus 5 official image for android 6.0; I have used adb and fastboot and I flashed everything but the userdata.img (as I did with all previous updates). Everything looks fine with the exception of google now on tap: if I long press the home "button" it only takes me to the regular google now page. The google app is version 5.3 (which is supposed to enable on tap), I tried both google now launcher and nova, but the result is always the same, standard google now page with no content relevant to the page/app I was in.
Is it expected ? do i have to enable it somehow ?
thanks
bye

It only works with system language set to English. You then have to enable it under Settings - Google - Search and Now. You'll find a toggle there for Now On Tap, which isn't there with the system language set to anything other than English.
I posted about it on r/Nexus5 this morning, too.
Thanks, that worked.
Too bad on tap is not available for all other languages ...
bye

Google Now On Tap doesn't work if you have it set on your Google Apps account. If you use/switch to your gmail account (and set it on english language) the feature does work. Hopefully this feature is made available to those of us on google apps account soon! The on tap feature is pretty neat.
The point is that the limitations on languages and accounts are not exactly advertised; either they are going to be fixed soon or google is hiding them behind the carpet ...
My system language is set to English (US), but the now on tap toggle goes back to off as soon as I press on Get Started.
mine does the same, I'm on US English but the now on tap toggle goes back to off as soon as I press on Get Started.
