Tor has exit nodes all over the world, and Google geolocates your IP<br>
address to decide what language to use. So if you're using Tor and the<br>
exit node is in Germany (e.g. to Google it looks like you're in<br>
Germany), then Google will show up in German.<br>
<br>
Google actually isn't involved in Tor. There's lots of websites that<br>
geolocate your IP address and behave differently depending on what<br>
part of the world they think you're in. I believe hulu.com won't let<br>
you watch video if you're not in the US, and BBC won't let you stream<br>
video unless you're in the UK.<br>
