## Translated content search

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 the following ways:

  • Assign Knowledge article search languages by country

    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

    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

    Set a fallback language 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

    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 need to make all English-language records globally searchable.
