It's not that uncommon a situation. In my case, I have two languages 
that I would prefer over English, whenever they are the *main* language 
of the content provider (their location would be a proxy for that, but 
not necessarily  a perfect one). For all other cases, English. And I 
would like search providers to give me "native" results in those two 
languages, whenever the search term is in those languages. I know, pipe 
dream.
