How can I switch language in google play?

Question

I'm doing some statistical analysis about Google Play, comparing different languages. Every time I visit the site (http://play.google.com/store), it always opens in my language. I want to change the language displayed on the page, and also change the apps shown to a different country's market. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Solution

Answer below the dotted line below is the original that's now outdated.

Here is the latest information ( Thank you @deadfish ):

add &hl=<language> like &hl=pl or &hl=en

example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xxx&hl=en or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xxx&hl=pl

All available languages and abbreviations can be looked up here: https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/table/4419860?hl=en

To change the actual local market:

Basically the market is determined automatically based on your IP. You can change some local country settings from your Gmail account settings but still IP of the country you're browsing from is more important. To go around it you'd have to Proxy-cheat.

To do it from an Android phone you'd need to find an app. I don't have my Droid anymore but give this a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694720

You should've asked it to begin with. I updated my answer above.

this information is not up-to-date anymore, as google play has been updated and the dropdown menu has been removed

Example to set language Russian: play.google.com/store?hl=ru

This is no longer available after the recent google play redesign

[deadfish]

add &hl=<language> like &hl=pl or &hl=en example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xx‌​x&hl=en or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.xx‌​x&hl=pl Now you can see comments

For me this is working: play.google.com/store?hl=tr or play.google.com/store?hl=en

Doesn't work, it just removes this parameter. (at least for the main page)

@MoreFreeze @Shenaniganz https://play.google.com/store/movies?gl=us the gl=?? changes the market. hl changes the language.

[Vivek Sancheti]

is there any source we can get list of all the languages short code?

[Sujewan]

Check this below link to get the Google Play Store supported languages and short code support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/table/…

why hl=az uses hl=ru language?

[InspiredBy]

@KamilIbadov because there is no "az" I assume. Please see the list provided by Sujewan above

@InspiredBy it's solved by google play
