StepsReferences
When searching, the search query will match against any content, including translated terms, however the default search results presents the matched concepts using their Fully Specified Name (FSN) in the en:US dialect. To view the search results with their preferred terms in other available languages / dialects, press the Language option selector in the top right corner of the Search panel.

A list of language display options are presented for the Fully Specified Name (FSN) and Preferred Term (PT) for each available language/dialect. As an example these are the options for ms-belgium:

  • FSN in US
  • PT in US
  • PT in FR
  • PT in DENL

Press an option to select that language/dialect for the Search results preferred terms.

Tip
titleExtension language / dialect variations

Each extension will show variations matching the PT dialect options presented when editing a new concept. These are defined in the extension baseline branch metadata when the extension is first setup for authoring - as of March 2020 they are:

Excerpt Include
Working in an extension (Managed Service and Training Authoring differences)
Working in an extension (Managed Service and Training Authoring differences)
nopaneltrue


The preferred terms in the Search results are updated to show the selected language option.

Tip
titlePreferred terms that are not yet translated

If there is no translated term available in a selected extension language-dialect, the terms will fall back to the en:US PT (required for all concepts), so a mix of the selected language/dialect and en-US terms should be expected if full coverage of PT translations is not available for a given extension and set of search matches.
