# Can Perplexity search in one language and answer in another?

I sometimes need sources from a particular language but would rather read the summary in English. Can Perplexity search for material in one language while responding in another, or does the language of the prompt tend to steer both the search results and the answer?

If you’ve tried this with less widely covered topics, did it find useful local sources or mostly return English-language pages?
