Yes, that was me and I indeed asked about limiting (sorting) a result set by language. For example, when one searches for "Alice's adventures in Wonderland", the language limiting bring up 246 records in "other" languages (under the books tab). Yiddish is one of them. I know that this can be worked around by using the "show all languages" in the advanced search and picking the desired language; was just wondering about that specific feature.
Many thanks,
Uri

Hello Jasmin:
Someone asked me a question, and I think it was someone from the University of Texas, but I did not keep track of the name. He asked me about languages in FirstSearch and why there were so many listed as "other" rather than being specific. I think his question was about sorting, but I'll answer searching first.
Searching and limiting by language of item in searching FirstSearch:
In the advanced search box, there is a place one can limit by language. The default is a drop down box and a list of about 20 languages appears, followed by "other". One can, though, click on "Show all languages..." right next to that drop down box and get every possible language to then show in the drop down box.
If he meant sorting a result set by language, then I think that once you get to a result set, you can "limit" by language. Clicking on the "limit" by language one is shown a list of languages in the result set, and one can select the ones you want. I don't see "other" in that list.
I hope this helps somewhat. If this doesn't answer the question, let me know. If he can clarify a bit more, I'll do my best to find an answer.
Thank you,
Cynthia
