Hi folks,

Is it possible to insert non-english keywords dynamically in the destination URL? I know that this is possible for english keywords through {Keyword} command but it's not working when the search query is not in English.

Thanks

Yes, it works the same way regardless of language - I have it used for keywords in 6+ different languages. Can you generally describe the scenario in which there's a disconnect?

Note that DKI will insert your keyword that matched the query, and not the actual query of the user. So if you're hoping to see non-English queries that matched your English keywords, you won't get it through DKI. You can instead dig through your web server log file. And if you are using non-English keywords that should work too, as poster boy said.

Thanks for the comments. Here is my setup:

1. My keywords are in non-english languages
2. Users query is also in that language I am targeting (Non-english)
3. My destination url is something like this: www.mydomain.com/?q={keyword}
4. When a user search a term in that language, the destination is not pointing to my website's search result page. I have no idea why this is happening.

BTW, what is gkw operator?
