For multilanguage countries such as Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland, the reference address databases contain addresses or some of the address elements in multiple languages. For example, a reference address database might contain addresses in the following languages:

The main, spoken language of the region to which an address belongs. Typically, this is the default language of the address in the reference address database. For example, in the Switzerland reference address database, the default language for addresses from Zurich is German, from Geneva is French, and from Ticino is Italian.
English or any other language that Informatica AddressDoctor supports for an address. For example, German, French, and Italian in the Switzerland reference address database.

By default, Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud returns the addresses in the default language of the corresponding reference address database entry. To generate the output in one of the supported languages, set one of the following values for the

PreferredLanguage

parameter:

If you set

PreferredLanguage

to a language that is not available in the reference address database, the

Preferredlanguage

setting defaults to the DATABASE value. In such cases, Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud returns the output in the default language of the reference address database. In such cases, Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud returns an extended element result status (EERS) value of E. EERS value of E indicates that the output is in the database language because the reference database does not contain the information in the specified language

The language or format in which Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud returns the country name depends on the value you configure for the

CountryType

validation parameter.

If the input address contains an address element that the reference database does not contain, Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud copies the element to the result output. For such elements, Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud returns the information in the same language as that of the address input. An element input status value of 1 indicates that the reference address database does not contain the element. An element result status value of 1 indicates that Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud has copied the information from the input because the reference database does not contain the information.
