Google Search has been localized to a lot of languages. And with a lot, we mean A LOT. Aside from languages like Swahili, Tamil, Twi, Scots Gaelic, Gujarati, Sesotho, Uighur and many more, Google Search has taken localization one step further by even including fictional languages:
Leetspeak
Google Search in Leetspeak.
Klingon
Google Search in Klingon.
Bork, bork, bork! (Swedish Chef, Pingdom’s favorite Muppet)
Google Search in Bork, bork bork!
Pig Latin
Google Search in Pig Latin.
Elmer Fudd
Google Search in Elmer Fudd.
