Google HL Parameter Interface Languages
The value assigned to the hl parameter has the potential to influence Google search results.
This effect becomes particularly noticeable when dealing with international queries
where the language restriction (denoted by the lr parameter)
is not explicitly defined. Under such circumstances, the hl parameter may prioritize search results that match the user's input language.
You can download the full JSON list of supported Google Languages:
