Tried it. Only works for Google.com and English sites, otherwise skewed results.

Hmm not really sure what skewed results you're talking about. It works exactly how I described it... I'm sure you could submit some feedback for them to include other search engines and other languages that you desire. But it's definitely pretty useful.

trickster, I thought I was clear enough, it means that you get other results in German, Spanish or French than on the respective Google.de, Google.es or Google.fr sites. This tool is purely for Google.com so basically e.g. Europeans won't use it.

I always wonder why people make tools only for the US, as if the rest of the world wouldn't exist.

Hmm I guess I should have specified it was English only. Perhaps you could go ahead and make your own version of the tool to suffice your needs.

We talk with one of seodigger developers in our forum several months ago. Some of our members ask him same question about an option for changing the language of the search and the answer was:

Good day

Thank you for cooperation

About different languages. Here there are two problems.

1. Some times it’s impossible to determinate the language of keyphrase. The same keyword (dating for example) may be used in different countries. And moreover sometimes keyword has the same spelling but different meaning. In this case we has complicated linguistic problem. We should build keywords database with geo dependence. It’s not trivial.

2. Wordtracker and services like that provide English keyphrases database in general. But it’s not easy to find the same databases for other languages. I have some regional keywords databases but all of them less then English one. If you have any ideas were can I find full regional bases it would be very helpful for me.

P.S. Our forum is in Bulgarian Language. Developer is from Russia. But even the 2 languages are similar not all of our members can write on Russian so there were Q/A on English.

This is a useful tool, but I wouldn't depend on it. I took a quick look at it and found that the results it listed for Google SERP ranking weren't always accurate. For example, it said I was 14th for two different keywords. I checked Google and I ranked higher than 14 for one of these keywords, and much lower for the other.

It gives a nice overview, but I wouldn't rely to heavily on it. It is a convenient way to do a quick "checkup" on your competition, though.
