How to restrict a Google search to results of a specific language? – Web Applications Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/09/07

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] How to restrict a Google search to results of a specific language? – Web Applications Stack Exchange (thanks [Wayback/Archive] ZygD):

1. Web interface language: hl=

Example: www.google.com/search?q=vilnius&hl=lt

2. Pages in specified language: lr=lang_

Example: www.google.com/search?q=vilnius&lr=lang_lt

3. Pages originating from specified country: cr=country

Example: www.google.com/search?q=vilnius&cr=countryLT
Note that the two country code characters have to be in UPPERCASE ! Otherwise Google ignores the parameter (as of 2017-01-03) (even though lower case works fine for hl= and lr=lang_).
