Multilingual search questions

What is multilingual search?

Search that works across languages. Someone can type in Japanese and find a product described in English, because results are matched by meaning, not by shared words.

Do I need to translate my content?

No. Insert your text in whatever language it is written in. Vecstore matches it to queries in any other language as is.

Do I need a separate index for each language?

No. One database holds every language, and every query searches all of it. There is no language field to set and no per-language setup.

Which languages are supported?

100+ languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Queries that mix two languages work too.

Does it work with image search?

Yes. Text queries for image search work in the same 100+ languages, so people can describe a photo in their own language.

Search in every language from one database.
