Setting Google street basemap language in QGIS?

Question

I use google street map as my project's basemap in QGIS: Using Tile Server: https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}.

As my computer default language is Chinese, when the basemap is loading, all the place names were present in Chinese, how can I change it to English? I have already set the QGIS language to English (Option->General->Override system locale->English), but it does not work in google street basemap.

Add &hl=en to your URL.

So it looks like https://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}&hl=en.

Instead of en you can also use any other language code. Note that most names used on Google Maps are not available in all languages.
