Multilanguage Support for Canada Addresses

You can configure Address Verification to return valid Canada addresses in English or in French.

The Canada reference address data uses the English language for addresses from all provinces except Quebec. The reference data uses the French language for Quebec addresses.

To set the preferred language, configure the

PreferredLanguage

attribute of the

Result

element in

Parameters.xml

The following table describes the

Option	Description
