Can I change the language used for the FusionBot logo and FusionBot generated messages on my search results?

You can select the language you would like the text on the search results, search tips, and sitemap pages to appear in.

For example, on the English-language generated pages (default language), the search button is labeled as "GO", whereas selecting Spanish as your language option will cause the search button to be labeled as "BUSCAR". For those packages that require a FusionBot logo, image options are also available containing translated text.

Currently, you may select from 8 languages, English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese. To change your displayed language, login to your account, select the 'Customization' tab, 'page display options' option and click on the 'Language' link.

The following table displays a few examples of how your output will display when selecting a specific language:

  Logo Search
Button Label		 Matched Message
English Go Matched 10 pages in 0.02 seconds
Spanish Buscar Resultados de la busqueda 10
paginas en 0.02 segundos
German Suche 10 Zusammengefabt in 0.02 Sek

Also, for customers who may be implementing FusionBot on multiple sites, where each site requires the display of the FusionBot messages in a different language, the global setting within your account can be overridden by including a hidden field, named 'lng' as part of your search box FORM code. The following values can be passed to override your default account setting:

Language (lng) Value
English 0
Spanish 1
German 2
French 3
Chinese 4
Italian 5
Japanese 6
Dutch 7


Therefore, to override a default language display option of English, to Spanish, include the following hidden value as part of your search box code:

<input type=hidden name=lng value=1>

Again, this only needs to be done when you wish to use multiple languages, depending on where a search is initiated, for your search output display messages.

Please Note: While this feature allows you to change the language of the displayed text used on your search results, it has nothing to do with whether or not FusionBot will successfully index your foreign language site. You may also need to provide to the FusionBot query engine the language that is used within the contents of your site, so that the search results display correctly. This is done by specifying the CHARSET value to be returned within the <HEAD> section of your FusionBot generated search results page.
