Just added a Google News bar on the right side...

Category Blogging
... under my Google Ads area.  It's a dynamic block that pulls the latest news stores with Lotus Notes or Lotus Domino contained within.  A nice little offering from Google.

You can find out how it all works here: http://www.google.com/uds/solutions/newsbar/index.html

Gravatar Image1 - Duffbert, could you reconfigure the News-Toolbar so that your visitors see the news you see and not the one according to our locale?
I am not really interersted in the advertising, that the german Google News Service is offering.

Thanks and many greetings from Vienna, Austria

Gravatar Image2 - Sorry, I think I did not get my point across.
Ich would prefer to see the english/us news and not the german one (which Google generates according to my Browser-Settings).

Is there a possibility for you to override Googles "logic" and force us/english news in the news block?

Gravatar Image3 - Um... I *do* have the ad block above the news block, but they are separate. Looking at your link, you're seeing the new News block I added, only with the text in German (?) rather than English.

Or am I missing something in your request?

Gravatar Image4 - Now I understand... looking at the code snippet, it doesn't look like there's any way for me to take advantage of overriding the language selection...

Gravatar Image5 - OK. Thanks for looking.
