#HootTip: Filter Search Results By Language
Social media and Twitter specifically can quickly create a mountain of content which can make filtering through social media to find relevant information a daunting task. The HootSuite dashboard is designed to help you sift through this online content and find exactly what you’re looking for. To help get you acquainted with the dashboard’s functionality, we have a new #HootTip all about this handy HootSuite feature.
Filter Search Results By Language
Based on signup trends, 36% of HootSuite’s Top 10 User Signups by Country come from non-English speaking nations – making for a diverse mix of cultures and languages. With that in mind, we’ve prepared a follow-up to last week’s Quick Search HootTip for our international and multilingual owls. In today’s HootTip, learn how to filter your search results by language.
Here’s How
Simply add a language search parameter (listed below) to the end of your search. With over 20 languages to choose from, it’s easy to find results for #hashtags, @handles and keywords in your language.
This search parameter can be tacked on to any of HootSuite’s search features: Search Streams, Keyword Tracking Streams and Quick Search.
Language Filters
Dutch – lang:nl
Danish – lang:da
English – lang:en
Filipino - lang:fil
Finnish – lang:fi
French – lang:fr
German – lang:de
Hindi – lang:hi
Hungarian – lang:hu
Indonesian – lang:id
Italian – lang:it
Japanese – lang:ja
Korean – lang:ko
Malay – lang:msa
Norwegian – lang:no
Polish – lang:pl
Portuguese – lang:pt
Russian – lang:ru
Simplified Chinese – lang:zh-cn

Being able to filter on language is great. Can you add more languages please? Also, can you filter on everything excluding one or more languages using minus before the lang tag?
