Google?

For the past 2 days...I haven't been able to get google.com...only google.co.kr

In the past, when I typed in google.com, it would go to google.co.kr.
However, on the bottom of the page, it gave me the chance to switch it back.
That option has disappeared.

Anyone else experiencing this?

What steps are required to get to google.com now?
As of now...it doesn't give me any option...only google.co.kr...and it sucks.

You can also use google.ca or google.co.uk or google.com.au

Those ones seem to remain on the English page.

look at the bottom right corner of the website. Should be a link to google in English.

Thanks for the help.

plchron...I was doing that is the past...but that option has been removed...just recently...like in the past two days.

sm7285...yeah...this is good, and it does translate...but it isn't the same.
When I use google.co.kr...it comes up in English...but it isn't the same search engine?
(hard to explain..it searches through google.kr...and translates that.) but it was useful.

Troglodyte...good advice...those do work as well...thanks.

nick70100...not sure why that works...but it does...and it seems to have fixed this problem for me as well...thanks.

Appreciate the feedback.
Cheers. Wink

The ncr in www.google.com/ncr stands for No Country Redirect.

Very useful.
