Abstract

A system and machine-implemented method for determining a language intent of a user submitted query is provided. A user query corresponding to address data including two or more components is received. An order in which the components are presented in the address data is identified, where different orders correspond to different geographical regions with different associated languages. A location of a user is determined based on the received user query. A language associated with the determined location of the user is identified. At least one language usage signal is identified from the text of the user query. A strength of the language usage signal is determined based on the received user query and the identified language associated with the determined location of the user. When the language usage signal strength is greater than a predetermined threshold, an output language for the query is adjusted based on the language usage signal.
