Everything turns to French, I am fed up!

Thanks Guy.
But, why I should use another google URL if changing the language parameter should resolve the problem?
I have already changed the language to English, as you said, but no change! I still have google ni french!
When I write google.com in the address bar, it turns immediately to google.fr !
He is really stupid who gave this idea to change automatically and forcedly to local language!
No other idea?
I know there is another idea but it is little bit difficult to follow for now: moving to English country!
But I am looking for a technical solution now before moving !

The problem with Google has nothing to do with your system. Google, as well as many other websites use geo-positioning software to determine where you're located. They assume that their service will be more popular/profitable if it will appear in the native language. Apparently they do not care much for the minority of users who either live outside of the region where their favorite language is spoken or simply travel to other countries.

That said, most of the sites have some sort of a control over their appearance. Google for example leaves a cookie with your personal settings - you may set the preferred language of the interface, of the search results and also how many results appear on one page. However, if you "clean" your computer, erase "personal" data after you close your browser or erase the cookie in any other way, Google will revert to its default state, which corresponds to your current location.

If you want to set a bookmark to Google and not worry about this stuff, use what A Guy said, or try Google.

Of course, that would not affect your searches from the search box. There you really need to keep that cookie. What you can do, is to set an exception in your browsers treatment of cookies allowing cookies from google.com and google.fr.

Now, about program installation - this is strange. Any program that you are installing should normally ask you for an installation language and stick to your choice. There are some programs which simply do not have a language choice, they "speak" the language of their makers. If that's the case, then there is nothing you can do about it. Otherwise, what's the language of your OS? Did you install the English Windows or did you install a French version and later used the English language pack?

Edit: that link has appeared automatically. I wanted to type google.com/ncr.

Thank you for your nice answer, Unifex.
Your are right, choosing or targeting local languages is more profitable for ads or event ads. But there are people who don't care about that, they should understand it!
At least, we should be able to customize his own pages or desirable research results. But this is not the case with Google, nor Yahoo!
I have French operation system (Win7) but I am thinking about installing the English pack. I am wondering if this may solve this problem!
Do you think that changing the OS to English will solve the problem or is it a geo-positioning issue?
I tried to to chose English as my default language in google in all browsers and in the local settings, as Guy pointed, but still have google turns to (.fr) !
I also have the same thing with Yahoo when I already tried! When I put "yahoo.com" in the address bar, it turns immediately to yahoo.fr!
Only bing.com, stands as is (.com), it doesn't turn to (.fr)! This is an asset attracting me towards Bing!

Maybe I will abandon google COMPLETELY with all its garbage, and adopt bing!

!
Voila, the example!

Yes, I had the same thing! but when I removed http it stayed Google.com !
Now, imagine the same automatic scenario but for ".fr" ! It is annoying and really boring! This is why I am asking to get rid of it.

Thanks for you all. I have already changed the OS to english (language package) but google and other research engines still turn to French and reseults in French!!
I am really fed up with this!
No solution apparently except to change country !!
