This tutorial is not a web/html primer and assumes that you already know
how the process of "web surfing" is accomplished (i.e. a browser requests a page from a server which
then returns the page to be viewed), what an HTML "form" is and how it works,
and what a link "target" is.
If you are not familiar with these concepts please read a basic web/html primer.
Overview
To change the language of the search result prompts it is
necessary to add an additional html tag to your search panel.
This html tag specifies the language for the prompts.
As an example, if you wanted to change your search result prompts
to Spanish, you would add the tag:
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="es">
to your search panel.
This tag must be placed after the search panel's initial
<form ...
tag and before it's ending
</form>
tag, otherwise it will not work.
We recommend using a text editor to modify your search panel as many
HTML editors modify added html code without notifying you,
resulting in unpredictable results.
If the language code ("es", "fr", "it", etc) is not recognized or supported, English
prompts will be used.
Note that currently the web search results always show English prompts.
