| Well, it was written to target Indian English. You can find the American version of the page at https://landing.google.com/intl/en_us/advancedprotection/ . |

| Uh yeah, the locale in the link is specifically an Indian locale. If you find it it disorienting you can change en_in to en_us: https://landing.google.com/intl/en_us/advancedprotection/ |

| ▲ | FreePalestine1 2 days ago | parent [-] | | The confusing thing is that googling "google advanced protection program" takes you to the en_in locale, even if you are in the US. An American has no clue what a crore is, so it is just an SEO failure on Google's part, which is funny. I didn't know there was an en_us equivalent to the page when I googled the topic. | | |
| ▲ | ErroneousBosh 2 days ago | parent [-] | | > An American has no clue what a crore is Really? It's ten million of something, or (currently) about $11,000 US dollars in money. You might also see "lakh" which is one hundred thousand of something, or about $1100 when it's used to describe money. Now you know. | | |

| Not sure what difference the nationality of the copywriters makes… |
| |
| ▲ | echoangle 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | It doesn’t really tell you where the copywriters were from but you notice that the locale of the page is Indian because the numbers are given in crore. | | |
| ▲ | throwaway290 2 days ago | parent [-] | | if this was a few years ago I would even say here on "hacker" news we could probably notice the indian locale in the damn URL and save an entire subthread of racial offtopic |

| ▲ | lazide 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Crores are pretty distinctive. | | |
| ▲ | SanjayMehta a day ago | parent [-] | | That's coming from Google, the racism is coming from the commentators. I have no problem with racism; I have a problem with hypocrisy. | | |
| ▲ | lazide a day ago | parent [-] | | How is it racism when it is literally written by/in Indians? As in literally has it as the locale and uses terms only really used in India? You might as well be complaining someone notes ‘it’s Chinese’ when something written in Simplified Chinese by the CCP gets posted? | | |
| ▲ | SanjayMehta 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | Good grief, read the comments up top, not talking about Google's page. | | |
| ▲ | lazide 18 hours ago | parent [-] | | Mind linking to any particularly problematic ones? When I scanned through before making my earlier comment, I didn’t see anything. |
