Description

The reader search appears to use geolocation of user IPs to guess appropriate the language to use for results. Instead, the app can supply the users current locale or language setting to get the appropriate results.

Research direction

Start by locating the Reader search request and the app's current locale or language setting. Trace how the request currently determines the result language, then verify that the user's setting is supplied instead; done means search no longer relies only on IP geolocation when a setting is available.
