Google could become a little more (or should I say even more) international or less English/US oriented. I know your "Google Interface in Your Language" is unsurpassed, but:

Some examples:

1. The click possibility on search query words leads to the definition at Dictionary.com but nowhere for non-English words. (this should not be so difficult?)

2. Search for GM and you get presented the option of stock quotes (from Yahoo).
Also available for non in the USA listed companies?

3. Search for "2400 Bayshore Parkway ca 94043" and you get a nice Yahoo map presented. Search for "18 Soho Square London W1D 3QL" and saddly the British Google office feels discriminated.

4. Nice tool in beta, Glossary search, but search for "chercher" in the Glossary and the Serendipity corner is returned. Are there too few sites containing a "Glossaire"?

5. Your news search is Good, but contains too few local newspapers. Do like Fast and offer search with a language option including many local newspapers, even from tiny countries like the Netherlands.

6. Your language tools offers a little less than Altavista Babelfish Translation (they have Korean, Chinese and Japanes) and while your busy please add Dutch for me :).

7. I could be wrong here, but if I place an adword Select for the word "computer" only for Belgium, am I not competing with the same prices as someone placing it for the USA?

Just my 2 Eurocents from an avid Google fan..
