LA Language

(a limit field)

ja in la

la=ja

la=japanese

The LA field contains both the code and full name for the language of the original document. You can search either with the code or the name (for those languages that have no code, use the full name, such as Bulgarian, Slovenian, and Ukranian). For some records, the language code displays in the Title (TI) field; in these cases, the code O-Other displays in the LA field.

Browsing Language Names

As an alternative to searching with the field label, you can browse language names and search for them directly from the Language Field-Specific Index. This field-specific index contains only language names drawn from the LA field, therefore, your search will always yield results. Search results display in the LA field.
