Abstract
A system and machine-implemented method for determining a language intent of a user submitted query is provided. A user query comprising text is received and a location of the user based on the received user query is determined. At least one language usage signal from the text of the user query is identified. A strength of the at least one language usage signal is determined based on the received user query and the determined location of the user. When the strength of the at least one language usage signal is greater than a predetermined threshold, an output language for the query is adjusted based on the language usage signal. Results for the query are returned according to the output language.
