All Google services think I'm still in Mexico and default to Spanish despite being home a week and telling it to display English 100 times.

I've searched this up and down and no suggestions are working. Location services on my phone are on and have never been turned off. Every device I own, including 4 computers that never even went to Mexico with me, are defaulting to Mexican relevant results when I search anything. It's obviously google account related but I can't find a way to force it to re-learn, or whatever it does, where I currently am. Currently I'm struggling to even get it back to English because I can't find correct settings and the obvious "Switch to English" prompt isn't showing up anymore like it was a few days ago. I've tried signing out and back in, manually switching my region to United States and switching it back to "current region", rebooting phone, turning location services on and off, clearing browser history on all devices, and more. Any suggestions?
Edit: Even when I sign out of my Google account, clear all browser data, and do a search on a computer that didn't even go to Mexico with me, I'm still getting Mexican relevant results in Spanish. Pulling my hair out here.
Edit again: Even on a fresh Ubuntu install on a machine that never went to Mexico and has never been signed into a single Google service EVER, I am getting Mexican relevant results in Spanish. It's as if Google thinks my home network IP is in Mexico.
I've been massively frustrated with the language changing across Google services. Pages would appear in Swedish regardless of my Google profile or browser settings.
I just found that setting the language in Google Search Settings magically seems to work as kind of a master switch for other Google services as well (how's that for consistency) - at least with the newest version of Chrome. Your mileage might vary, but give it a shot.
- Do any Google search
- Click on the Settings cog on far right -> Search Settings
- Choose a language for "Google products to use"
Be sure to also add your preferred language in Chrome's own language settings. This makes sure it doesn't e.g. offer your own language to be translated.
if you go to
www.google.com/ncr <-- no country redirect
it will stay there. Probably works for www.google.other_domains
