Tips for Searching in Languages other than English

• Search with terms in the language of study or English
• Use the "Language" field in "Advanced Search" in Search@UW and databases 
• Use the "Language" filter to refine results in your preferred language. If necessary, you can exclude English or other languages from the results in Search@UW
• Confirm that the work is in the language of study, look for "Language" or "Language of publication" under "Details" in Search@UW and/or database filter

Note:

• Titles and abstracts may be in English even if the article is written in another language
• Titles in brackets indicate that it is a translation
• Journal titles may indicate the language of the article (but not always)
• Language fields are not always correct

Search for Sources in Languages other than English

For example: You'd like to find books in Spanish about Pablo Picasso to check out from the UWM Libraries and request from other UW-System Libraries. 

1. Start with an Advanced Search in Search@UW
2. Enter your search terms or keywords in the "Any Field" box (in this case: Pablo Picasso)
3. Use the "Language" drop down menu to select your language

This first results list includes:

• Translations of books that were originally written in Spanish and are now translated into English or another foreign language
• Books with Spanish and (usually) English side-by-side translations
• Books written in Spanish​

To further refine your search to include only untranslated books (i.e., books in Spanish):

1. You must "Exclude" other languages
2. The final results list includes only books written in Spanish that are available at the UWM Libraries and other UW-System Libraries
