Here's an odd thing: it seems that Google displays differently to different
users.
In my case Google offers me three (drop down menu) Search Tools:
- Anytime (the dropdown offers choices of time frame)
- All results (the dropdown menu offers: 'all results',  'reading level',
'verbatim')
- Location (the city I live in)

So in my case , visiting Google using Firefox, the search tools do not offer
language selection.
But I understand from you that you *do* get a language selection option.

(Of course, there are also the Google preferences, where you can set things
like 'Safe search filters' and 'results per page' and so on. I those
preferences there is a language selection option and  I have set Google to
serve me pages in english only. (Now, as far as I know Google doesn't
enforce that preference rigidly. If I type in a non-english word I also get
search results in the language that that word is from. My impression is that
the Google engineers choose to cast a wide net.))

That is new to me. I consider myself to be a heavy internet browsing user, a
heavy Google user; I have not come across this before.
Can you possibly direct me to more information about this?
