Did you know that you could filter your Collecta results by language? Just add language: to your query with a standard 2 letter language code and you are done. Full list below.
For example, say you’re are following the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, which get a lot of coverage in the international press. You may want to limit your results to just those in your preferred language, perhaps English. Your Collecta search in that case could be: olympics OR “winter games” language:en
If you want to include more than one language, you can do so by using the OR operator. For example: (olympics OR “winter games”) (language:ja OR language:es)
Language filtering works in all our delivery methods, from the Collecta.com client to the Collecta API to the Collecta widget .
To make it even easier in the Collecta Widget Builder we’ve added a drop-down menu to pick the language, this adds it to the query automatically for the widget you are building. To find it expand the Advanced options in the widget builder.
Below is a list of the languages we support and their two (2) letter code. So go forth and filter!
