Am I the only one that has trouble with language preferences being ignored by Google? Accept-Language HTTP headers seem to be completely ignored, but even Google account language settings are ignored sometimes. IP address seems to be more important to them.

When I connect from a VPN exit point in Brazil it only shows me results in Portuguese (even when I'm logged in). When I connect from my hometown in Chile it's mostly fine but I think it's still not the same as if I connected from a US exit point, even though I have US English as my preferred language everywhere.
