I sometimes have similar issues. But I can understand why Google might not want to cater to the multi-lingual market: perhaps it's just too niche?

I don't think it's too niche, I think they're just American.

A Canadian/Indian/EU-based Google probably would've ended up with multi-lingual support, whereas a China/UK based one probably wouldn't have.

By the time Google got big enough for international considerations, there were already a bunch of baked in assumptions about their users, like them being monolingual.
