PreferredLanguage

PreferredLanguage

Informatica Address Verification
can return address elements in multiple languages for addresses in Belgium, Canada, China, Ireland, and Switzerland. To determine the languages that Address Verification uses for the address elements, configure the
PreferredLanguage
parameter.
When the reference data includes elements in multiple languages, Address Verification can return address data in the following languages:
  • The main spoken language of the region to which each address belongs. This is the default language for the address in the reference data.
  • Any other language that Address Verification supports for an address. For example, the Belgium reference data contains address elements in Flemish, French, and German.
The reference data might contain data for a single address element or for a complete address in multiple languages. For example, Address Verification can return all address elements for Ireland in the English language and can return street names, locality names, and province names in the Irish language. Additionally, the reference data might specify different default languages for different parts of a country. For example, in the Switzerland reference data, the default language for addresses from Zurich is German, from Geneva is French, and from Ticino is Italian.
By default,
Informatica Address Verification
returns the addresses in the default language of the corresponding reference address database entry.
You can set one of the following values for the
PreferredLanguage
parameter:
  • DATABASE
    . Returns all available address elements in the default language of the address in the reference data. This is the default value for
    PreferredLanguage
    .
  • ENGLISH
    . Returns province and locality information in English if the reference data contains the information. For example, Address Verification can replace München with Munich and Bayern with Bavaria in Germany addresses.
  • ALTERNATIVE_1
    ,
    ALTERNATIVE_2
    , or
    ALTERNATIVE_3
    . Returns address elements in one of the alternative languages in the reference data. The alternative languages depend on the country to which the address belongs.
  • PRESERVE_INPUT
    . Returns address elements in the same language as the input address. Address Verification preserves the language if the reference data contains the address in the input language. If the input address contains multiple languages, Address Verification returns the address in the default database language.
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 Address Verification
returns an extended element result status (EERS) value of E. The value indicates that the output uses the database language because the reference database does not contain the information in the language that you specified.
The language or format in which
Informatica Address Verification
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 Address Verification
copies the element to the result output. For such elements,
Informatica Address Verification
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 Address Verification
has copied the information from the input because the reference database does not contain the information.
