Google localized only in Opera

When I visit Goole from any other browser I get the default English version - just how I like it. But if I use Opera I get localized results translated menu etc, which I hate. Can I do something about this? In the Opera settings, I chose English as my language. In opera:config I disabled geolocations but I still get localized google. Can anyone please help?

go to google.com/ncr
(ncr = no country redirect)

We've been through this several times with other users - especially those who would travel abroad, and when they came back found Opera on their laptop was still using Google from the country they visited. sad

If that is the case, then unchecking opera:config#UserPrefs|GoogleTLDDownloaded will make Opera restore the local Goolge TLD.

But if you want to use non-local Google TLD, manually edit opera:config#UserPrefs|GoogleTLDDefault but keep opera:config#UserPrefs|GoogleTLDDownloaded checked.
