That's a slightly different thing. Google.fr has different results than Google.com. It has different content partly because it's affected by different regulatory agreements.
That's a location based and a separate issue from language. For example google.fr, and google.ca are both available in French. The content on each is catered to a specific area.

Google.ca, like google.com, is available in multiple languages. Try switching your browser from Uk English, to US Spanish, for example. Google.com and google.ca will both switch languages.
