Google chrome date in Thai rather than Western calender

[sirineou]

I have looked at all the options in settings, and search settings but so far I have been unable to change the date on my search results from the Thai calendar to a western calendar . The date in my results appears as such : Aug 18, 2565 BE 

Any help in resolving this problem would be highly appreciated.

I normally use DuckDuckGo , and the date displayed in my search there is in the western calendar. But there is denying that google search algorithm is outstanding , and I often switch to Google , Not familiar with "Brave browser" but I am thinking that it's not ap to Google Chrome standards. I will take a look at it . Thank you!!

Control Panel  >  Clock and Region > Region  >  Format

 

Me have it set to UK........... as you have it in Thai then you are already set to Bangkok time, just need to set the language you need to display

Thank you for trying to help, initially I also thought the same, but when I checked my windows control panel The windows Language setting is US English, and the location is set to USA, the only thing Thai is the time zone. 

The issue has to be Chrome related because DuckDuckGo displays the date in their search results western calendar. I have looked int Google settings and into my personal google account but no luck so far.

I agree, I normally use DuckDuckDo but I switch to Google when I need better search results. I have run the same search term in both ant the Google returns were much more extensive.

I hope I found it...

I had the same annoyance with Buddhist calendar (2566) instead of western AD (2023).

 

Deeply hidden, open this link:

https://www.google.com/preferences

 

Then scroll down and see the "Regional Settings" for the search.

(I see it in German language at the moment so won't hardcopy)

 

What is the setting at your Chrome browser? "Current Region"?

Play with the setting and look whether it helps.

Restart browser (not sure whether necessary).

 

No chance with Windows settings!

The issue is date is displayed in Thai year as search result if location is Thailand (which location we want for relevant search results) - there is just no option to turn date display from below when view video/news and such search results:

And you are using Chrome set as Thailand location?

[TimeMachine]

And they reckon Google AI is gonna take over the world.  If it cant see you are a westerner wanting western results then perhaps instead AI is just a whole lot of if then statemenets made by some half intelligent mob.

Another attempt before giving up.

It's NOT a Windows setting (language, region, date/time, ....)!

It's NOT a Chrome Setting!

 

It's a laughable Google search setting stored in a Cookie!

Can be completely independent of the Windows settings.

That is not a cookie, it is a setting that relates to search history rather than search results but can't quite see how it actually affects the search history.

I would think that the issue from the OP is more likely to be related to "location". if that is turned on then Google would know where you are and make changes as appropriate .

It wouldn't be out of the question for the "current region" setting and "location" to  be linked.

Yes

Websites will show content in your preferred languages, when possible

 

Add languages

1. English (United Kingdom)

This language is used when translating pages

 

2. English

This language is used to display the Google Chrome UI

 

3. English (United States)

 

4. Thai

 

[sirineou]

So this is the search term at DuckDuckGo

 

and this is the same search term at Google Chrome:

So the problem must be with Google

[sirineou]

From my Google profile:

[sirineou]

From my Google Chrome settings:

 

[sirineou]

From my windows settings Time zone :

From my windows settings language and region. 

I am totally stumped and appressed with resolving this

The reply from KhunBENQ above regarding region settings changes a google search result from

to

which appears to be what you are after.  You can access it from the URL given

https://www.google.com/preferences

 

or from

by selecting Settings followed by Search Settings and scrolling down to Region Settings and selecting USA, UK or whatever.

THANKS ... don't know why people can't follow simple instructions.   Why ask if not going to use the info.

 

THANKS  again.

 

Note:  not that I needed, as Thai calendar is easy enough to understand, but saves me 1 thinking process.  Not that hard to realize if not 2566, then it's not this year

It is not difficult to do the math (subtract 543) but when I am doing research and have a long search page with many returns, I don't want to have to adjustment for every article , and then try to remember the adjustments. As you can see in my screenshots except for the time zone ,I had  changed all the settings to US .

  This final setting that treetops send me I could not find anywhere and trust me I looked. But I was finally able to resolve the Issue and I'm very happy.

Google seems to know what kind of pizza I ordered yesterday , you would think that all the info they have on me ,they would know what my calendar preference is , especially after I did dozens of searches on Google on how to set my calendar  to Western ????

Setting VPN to a US server works, tho maybe not the solution you're wanting.

Thank you for that , I thought the same and tried to see if it made any difference but it did not. The problem has been resolved thanks to the help from treetops. As I suspected it was a Google preference issue, I thought I had set all my preferences  to US as shown in my screenshot a few replies above, but apparently I had not.

Day/Month/Year (AD) is not the issue - this issue is Day/Month/Buddhist Era which is 543 years ahead of the Common Era (Anno Domini) which for those not using is just as confusing as the US Month/Day/Year.
