Hi, I am trying to use the API browser to query our prismic content. But I can't set the language parameter. I have read the documentation which tells me to write lang=fr-fr I write something similar and press enter but it does not add this as a parameter. So how do I set the language? ---

Hi Magnus, Welcome to the community! So in the [article](https://prismic.io/docs/rest-api/query-the-api/query-by-language) where it says: > To specify a particular language you want in a query, simply add the "lang" parameter to the query string and set it to the language code you are querying (example, "en-us" for American English). It means you need to add the language code... `&lang=en-us` ... to the end of the URL string like so: [https://slice-machine.prismic.io/api/v2/documents/search?ref=X3R\_ChAAAD4vl5k8&q=[[at(document.type%2C+"page")]]&lang=en-us](https://slice-machine.prismic.io/api/v2/documents/search?ref=X3R_ChAAAD4vl5k8&q=%5B%5Bat(document.type%2C+%22page%22)%5D%5D&lang=en-us) Let me know if this makes sense. Thanks. ---

Hi Phil, Yes that is easy to do. It works. Thanks! Magnus ---
