I have just tried that. I know you meant it only for people traveling abroad, but I hoped it might work for me.
When I typed in the "/ncr" at the ending of the web address, Google did come up in English. Ha ha! I thought. This is easy!
So I closed the browser and retested. Didn't log off, mind you, didn't turn the computer off and restart it, just closed the browser, reopened it the next second and typed the regular Google address ending with ".com" .
Redirected to ".co.jp" whatever. IOW, to Japanese.
I've checked IE/Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/"Warn if Post submittal is redirected" (not that that would be relevant), and it is checked. Don't know why the ".com" is redone to other country suffix.
