I have figuered it out!
I had the same problem for a couple of days since I arrived to China but there is one way.
Open up two tabs in safari.
1st tab: just make a search for anything and you will be redirected to www.google.com.hk
2nd tab: go to your country site for me its www.google.se but for you its .ca
go to the symbol in the upper-right corner, its either your avatar or a "gearwheel".
now you can see that option #1 is "SEARCH SETTINGS" now go to www.google.com.hk and press on the same place and on the first option. Apperently you cant read chinese this is why we have two tabs =)
now there is a new choice and it #2 in the left collumn. chose language.
now choose you language in the list of countries. did this help you out?
