The playstore in my country is updated today or yesterday and the language select option in the bottom of the page is no longer available. My question is how read comments for a different language? (hopefully without using an unsecure proxy)

Ok I found a solution: add the hl=[language-code] parameter to the url: ie.:

Part of the page still features localized content. I am able to use hl=en but that gives me what I was already seeing. hl=fi gives me finnish content for what was already in english, but does not change content that seems to be determined by my location in the globe.Tonita
Then maybe try using a proxy from a different country.Rambo
do anyone know why hl=az not works? when hl=ru exists hl=az opens app store descriptions as hl=ruOdds

There is a Chrome extension for switching languages at Google Play. Play Store Language Switcher

To me it seems, as if this chrome extension only adds the query parameter for the language to the URL. And I also think it is important to wait a few houres after publishing a new translation. And the query parameter has to be this form: hl=jp-JP or similar for other countries.Phew

There are 3 ways to do this:

  1. You can just add ?hl= language parameter at the end of the url (see below). Or you can just click the link below:

https://play.google.com/store?hl=en (English) https://play.google.com/store?hl=th (Thai)

(Or)

  1. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/personalinfo Then click at "言語 (Language)" on the top center menu & then click at "日本語‬ (Japanese) in the box on the left" & then change to either "English" or "ไทย"

(Or)

  1. You can download & install "Play Store Language Switcher" extension on your Chrome browser. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/play-store-language-switc/jcfdcbdcffghjnebhljdhopbbgmhohmo

You should change it in your Google+ profile.

Go to Google+ profile -> Click to your picture on top right. -> Account -> Language -> then change the language to the desired one. Check now Google Play.

Hope this helps.

Show language and / or rating

I have to add something because i've searched for the required parameters to show a specific language and / or a specific rating for that country.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?
id=[PACKAGE-NAME]&
hl=[LANGUAGE for the interface]&
gl=[REGION - Shows rating for the selected app]

Example

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.twitter.android&hl=th&gl=th
