Google Search Appliance: Creating the Search Experience Customizing the User Interface 107
Changing the Language of the User Interface
You can have your users' search page and search results pages in a language other than English, the
default. You also can have several languages active for your users and the search appliance will present
search results for an active language based on the settings detected in the end user's computer.
The search appliance allows multiple stylesheets that present the search page, advanced search, and
results pages in different languages, all associated with a single front end. The language-specific
stylesheet is selected based on the Accept- language header sent from the user's browser, or the hl=
query option. The stylesheet is selected from the set of languages marked “active”; if there is no match,
the default language is used. A language-specific stylesheet is created when you make a language active.
Each language's stylesheet can be edited and customized independently.
To change the language of the user interface, use the Serving > Front Ends > Output Format page in
the Admin Console. For complete information about using the Output Format page, click Help Center
> Serving > Front Ends > Output Format in the Admin Console.
Customization Process Overview
You may customize a user interface using both the Page Layout Helper and by editing the XSLT
stylesheet directly. You must make all Page Layout changes in the boxes provided before editing the
XSLT stylesheet directly. These changes are saved in the XSLT stylesheet when you click Save Page
Layout Code.
You cannot return to using the Page Layout Helper after you manually edit the XSLT stylesheet, unless
you start over completely by clicking the Restore Default button. If you want to continue editing, you
can do so in the XSLT Stylesheet Editor.
