How to get Dell international tech support
Getting support from Dell has never been a fun thing, going to another country makes it even less fun. As it turns out, the only way to get support overseas is to fill out a “international tag transfer” request form. This form will ’somehow’ allow you get support.
I was talking with Dell tech support in Poland (all of one person it seems), and was informed that this proccess can take up to 20 days. Well great, the heck am I going to do without a laptop for that long of a time?!
Don’t have much of a choice do I? We’ll see how ‘actual’ support will work once this transfer is complete.

Traveling out of your native country and using google? Trying to get Firefox’s Google search to use your language but it’s not complying? Let me tell you this, normal Firefox setting AND Google settings WILL NOT WORK.
If you search on Google on how to set the language, it’ll tell you. But it’s not what we are searching for and it doesn’t work with the Google search in Firefox. So how do we fix this? Simple actually, first locate a file called “google.xml” in a folder named searchplugins.
You might have a few versions of this file, so it might be a good idea to edit all of them. For me the file was:
/usr/lib/firefox-addons/searchplugins/google.xml
In this file you will see a xml section of lines by the name of “Param”. It will look something like this:
<Param name=”q” value=”{searchTerms}”/>
<Param name=”ie” value=”utf-8″/>
<Param name=”oe” value=”utf-8″/>
<Param name=”aq” value=”t”/>
Add the folling line in there. A good place would be right above the utf-8.
<Param name=”hl” value=”en”/>
So, your final product should look something like:
<Param name=”q” value=”{searchTerms}”/>
<Param name=”hl” value=”en”/>
<Param name=”ie” value=”utf-8″/>
<Param name=”oe” value=”utf-8″/>
<Param name=”aq” value=”t”/>
Of course, if you do not want English … use something other than “en”. Google for the correct value.
