Search features supported by language] {#explore-language-support-ais__table_pbc_qnw_rqb} ## Translated content search {#explore-language-support-ais__section_scr_2sb_vwb} By default, AI Search only returns results for records with translated content, such as knowledge articles, that are in the user's ServiceNow AI Platform session language. You can modify this default behavior in several ways: [Assign Knowledge article search languages by country](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/YiQbTv9MebT85ZzF79cytA "Improve multilingual search recall by defining a set of Knowledge article search languages for each user country. User searches can match Knowledge articles in any of the search languages specified for their country as well as in the language associated with their ServiceNow AI Platform session.") : Improve multilingual search recall by defining a set of Knowledge article search languages for each user country. User searches can match Knowledge articles in any of the search languages specified for their country as well as in the language associated with their ServiceNow AI Platform session. [Configure globally searchable knowledge articles](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/p2UlsVpyooXpalMxmYGX7Q "Define an encoded query for knowledge articles that you want to make searchable in any language.") : Define an encoded query to match knowledge articles that you want to make searchable regardless of the user's session language. [Configure a fallback language](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/owA4NUOVSjSWEbUU6WGf6w "When a fallback language is configured for the user's session language, AI Search searches translated documents in both languages. Search uses the appropriate stop word, synonym, and typo handling dictionaries for the fallback language.") : [Set a fallback language](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/POLFU3TS7H6L913zN~SzJg "Set a fallback language to be used when user interface text is not translated in the user's preferred language to accommodate the language needs of your users.") for the user's session language. AI Search returns translated content results from the selected fallback language as well as the user's session language. [Enable a global fallback locale for translated content](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/crjbu2ePYPvkTZUSLr1e3Q "Configure AI Search to match translated documents in a global fallback locale's language as well as the user's session language.") : Configure a global fallback locale to use for all translated content searches. AI Search returns translated content results from the global fallback locale's language as well as the user's session language. Note: The global fallback locale works best if you want to make all English-language records globally searchable.
