More Languages for Google Code Search

Google Code Search is an innovation provided by Google. Actually, it is a service that allows users to search for sample code and function definitions over the internet. As Google Code Search is expanding, the developers are trying to improve the use and features of the service.

Miguel Garcia, Software Engineer said in his blog that multiple languages were added to Google Code Search, being accessible from 12 more interfaces.

"Today is a multilingual day for Google Code Search. You can now use its interface in Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Spanish.

We also added support for languages of another type as well -- Code Search now detects code in more programming languages (AppleScript, COBOL, ColdFusion, Haskell, Modula-2, Modula-3, OCaml, R, Rebol, SML, and VHDL), which appear in the language drop-down on the Advanced Code Search page. If your programming language of choice isn't in there, just use the the file: operator to restrict your search to files with the right extensions. For example, you could restrict your search to files with a .zz extension with a query like foo file:.zz$.

As a Spanish engineer in Google's Zurich office, my days tend to be pretty multilingual. So it's been great to be part of the effort to help Google Code Search understand a few new languages as well."
