Search for an Entry in Multiple Languages

The user's locale sets the default language for a search. You can customize this setting by changing the Content language option in the Set Preferences page, in My Preferences. If the Content language is English, then the search results are delivered in English.

For information about searching for an entry, see Searching for entries using name, description, and name or description.

When you perform a search, you can use a search term that is in a different language from the language specified by the Content language setting. To search in multiple languages, use the following syntax:

<search_term> +language: <locale>

Example: ventes +language: fr

Although you can search in different languages, you only receive search results if the search index supports that language. Your administrator specifies the languages that are supported.

Procedure

  1. Click the search button Search icon on the toolbar.
  2. In the search box, type the phrase you want to search for. Use the following syntax:
    <search_term> +language: <locale>

Results

The search returns a list of entries.
