What features could improve Google Search for people speaking two languages fluently?

I have to add &lr=lang_de if I want to search German sites when I use google.com in English.

sorry for highjacking your ama for a disguised feature request

Wow this sounds really great, I have my Android in English and feel kind of awkward when I am using Google Now when somebody could hear me. This would solve this. It is really cool to see things are getting better and better and there are persons who are constantly thinking on how to improve products!

On the results side, tricky stuff since the Web is such a blend of languages, some amount of machine translation is possible but not perfect, etc. But you can add multiple languages for which search results are displayed at Settings > Languages and add them. Then you’ll see both English and German results, depending on what’s relevant.

Thanks turns out I had done that, maybe the English results are just ranked higher on my search terms.
