Composing various (language) properties for the google engines (:ref:`google
API`).

This function is called by the various google engines (:ref:`google web
engine`, :ref:`google images engine`, :ref:`google news engine` and
:ref:`google videos engine`).

:param dict param: Request parameters of the engine.  At least
    a ``searxng_locale`` key should be in the dictionary.

:param eng_traits: Engine's traits fetched from google preferences
    (:py:obj:`searx.enginelib.traits.EngineTraits`)

:rtype: dict
:returns:
    Py-Dictionary with the key/value pairs:

    language:
        The language code that is used by google (e.g. ``lang_en`` or
        ``lang_zh-TW``)

    country:

        ``searxng_locale`` value.

    subdomain:
        Google subdomain :py:obj:`google_domains` that fits to the country
        code.

    params:
        Py-Dictionary with additional request arguments (can be passed to
        :py:func:`urllib.parse.urlencode`).

        - ``hl`` parameter: specifies the interface language of user interface.
        - ``lr`` parameter: restricts search results to documents written in
          a particular language.
        - ``cr`` parameter: restricts search results to documents
          originating in a particular country.
        - ``ie`` parameter: sets the character encoding scheme that should
