I don't know if they have these for other English-majority countries, but if nothing else, it's an interesting look at dialects in the United States.

It nailed me, by the way: Had me located in Washington State, in either Seattle, Tacoma, or Spokane (I grew up in Spokane).

An-suimiúil! For the first question, many Irish people say 'ye' - not an option here!

Right on for me too. Came up with Chicago, Rockford and Aurora. I was born in Chicago.

It said I was from Houston, Texas / Jackson, Mississippi / or Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was born and raised in Houston but it didn't say which side of town I'm from (they're all a little different

Yonkers, Jersey City and New York came up for me.
I watch too many American tv shows and I now have the proof of it.
Have to rush now and watch Law and Order: Criminal Intent now! (my favourite)

Yeah...closest we'd get in the U.S., I think, is "youse."

I grew up saying "you guys," so that's what I put, but having lived in North Carolina for 10 years, I'm as likely to say "y'all" anymore. It's a lot handier, in this day and age, than "you guys," as people from outside the region tend to think of "guys" as a purely masculine term.

One they didn't ask, which surprised me, is "what do you call carbonated soft drinks?" I grew up saying "pop," but after having lived most of my adult life in California, I say "soda."

I got - New York, Providence, Yonkers.
Even though I answered mostly with "I don't have a word for that".

Maybe it's the large Irish population in New England that has influenced the pronunciation of certain words there. We taught them to speak properly.

I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

I came up with Atlanta and Washington DC. I was born in the DC area and grew up or went to school in Virginia, Florida, and Alabama. Some of the choices for parts of the South are just flat out wrong, though, unless what people say has changed a lot since I grew up (I've been in California for over 30 years now, so that's quite possible).

I think my mish-mash of dialects caused the poor program to blow a fuse. It came up with Fremont, San Jose, and Honolulu.

I think some of the questions may change each time. For example, I got "what do you call the sometimes grassy area in the middle of the road?" ("median" in my case), whereas a friend of mine got "what do you call the sometimes grassy area between the sidewalk and the road?" ("verge" in my case). I also got a question about freeway verses highway, which I don't remember from the last time I took this test.
