Ah, ok! At the top of the page - on the Windows toolbar (which includes
File, Edit, View, Favorites, Tools, and Help), click the View tab. A
dropdown menu opens, and you should arrow down to the ninth option,
which is Encoding. Select it, and another dropdown menu opens with the
following options: Auto-Select, Western European (Windows), Western
European (ISO), Unicode (UTF-8), More (and a couple other options about
reading direction that we needn't worry about right now). You will want
to select Unicode (UTF-8), the fourth option down. I think that will fix
your problem - at least I really hope so! I'm not a pro at this by any
measure.
If my directions are still too fuzzy to interpret, give a yell back and
I'll give it another shot. My husband is an IT dude, and I can check
with him.
Good luck!

Hello Barbara,
Thanks for your tips regarding my language issue with Google. Let me
give you a little info about myself &I have a few more questions based
on what you said here.
As well as having C-P, I'm also totally blind. I use adaptive screen
reading software with speech output. Another words, everything you can
see on your computer screen I can hear on my screen.
So with that in mind, can you please tell me when I'm at the top of the
Google home page, using my down-arrow key, what words or buttons am I
looking for? Then, what links do I click on to change my default
language back to English?
Thank you again for your help.
Gary
