Language Values

This page lists the language code you can use in the user interface (UI) of your search engine, such as the search button. The language of you search engine also boosts results in that language; however it does not filter out results in other languages. For example, if you selected Chinese as your search engine language, Chinese webpages will be given higher priority over English webpages in the search results.

You can define the language either in the control panel or the context file. In the the Basics tab of the control panel, you select the language from the Search engine language drop-down list. In the context file, you define the value of language attribute of the CustomSearchEngine element, as in the following example:

<CustomSearchEngine volunteers="false"
                    language="en"
                    visible="false"
                    encoding="UTF-8">
</CustomSearchEngine>      

The following table enumerates the available values for the language attribute.

Note: If you do not specify a language, Programmable Search Engine will use en (English) as the default value.
