Hello,

I'm trying to use the Query Suggestion from App Search.

It is possible to specify the language?

For instance, in the following example:  
{ "query": "car", "types": { "documents": { "fields": ["title", "states"] } }, "size": 4 }'

change to:  
{ "query": "car", "language": en, "types": { "documents": { "fields": ["title", "states"] } }, "size": 4 }'

Thank you,

---

I don't think this is something we support. Language is set on an engine level. You could create a different engine per language, and dynamically change the engine you are querying against based on the user's language preference.
