Fallback languages

This page explains how fallback languages work in the Partium Find API.

How fallback languages work​

When a part name is not available in the specified search language, the Find API will look for translations in the first available fallback language. This ensures that part names are always returned in the most preferred language available.

You can specify fallback languages in two ways:

  1. Per-request fallback languages: These are provided as an ordered list in the fallbackLanguages field of the search request. For more information, please see the API reference.
  2. Organization-configured fallback languages: If no fallback languages are provided in the request, or if none of the provided languages are available, the system will use the organization's configured fallback languages.

If you need to modify or know more about the fallback languages configured for your organization, please contact your Partium Account Manager.

Response fields​

The language used will be reflected in the following response fields:

  • results.name: The name of the part, returned in the requested language or in the first available fallback language (from either the request or the organization's configuration).
  • results.nameLanguage: The language code of the returned part name, showing the requested language or a fallback language.

For more information about how to include these fields in your response, please refer to the Expanding search results article.
