Using the gl param is the closest you can get to one of the localized portals. That said, regardless of the localized version you use, the results returned by the API will likely not be exactly the same as those returned by Google's standard web interface. Of course, Google won't tell you exactly why that is, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to reason that they are protecting their own properties and ad revenues by making sure that the results you get from their web interface is better. I personally believe that this is entirely reasonable, and I would also note that I have never really missed any of the results that were dropped from the API; i.e., it has always provided more than adequate results for the rudimentary search functionality it was designed to provide.
