Wrong localization in search suggestions #279

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes, I use the inbuilt search and the results are partially shown in French.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like an option to set the language I want while using the inbuilt search.

Describe alternatives you've considered Just wanted to try changing the CSS but I don't know much of it, so yeah, nothing.

Here's an example:

Hello @playcoolly,

This is italian actually ! The suggestions are currently using the results of the country your request is processed in. It means that if Bonjourr is in english but you are located in Brazil, your suggestions will be what people search in Brazil, in portugese.

It also means that if you are using a VPN, the localization of the suggestions are based on the position of the VPN server. Which is not ideal.

There might be a way to find the correct country without warranting a full option ? We'll think about it !

Thanks! I don't know much about other languages 😅. The location detected by Weather is correct though, wondering why the search feature detects a wrong location.

It might happen if you are in Croatia for example, the network might choose Rome instead of Zagreb ? If you are in India however, that's a problem...

Just checking in. Please update when any fix is found. Have a good day! :)
