- epi0Bauqu 15y agoOur 0-click is largely in English, but you should be able to type in non-English searches and get non-English results. If you change your region in the settings, it will also boost results from a particular language/region combo. You can also do this on a per-query basis by adding say r:uk to the end.

- epi0Bauqu 15y agoWe are certainly aware of this issue :). On a related note we have a new translation platform for the interface. It is not the zero click yet but on the right track!
- arnorhs 15y agoI use DDG as my main search engine and I'm a native Icelandic speaker. I search for Icelandic content every now and then and rarely have problems with DDG results. The biggest difference stems, not from a limit on the language, but a simple limit of the number of search results (I have no idea whether it's the search algo, or the index that's smaller or some other reason).. Icelandic websites generally have fewer results so it's more common for me to see 'nothing here, try google' in DDG.
