Duck Duck Go is all fine in English search queries but it is less impressive for languages other than English. If a word in the query happens to be a word in English, you get results in English scattered around.

Here's an example, I searched for "radio hören" which means listening radio in German:

http://duckduckgo.com/?q=radio+h%C3%B6ren&v=

The third result is in English. The search query has a trivial stop character in it, the umlaut o. It should be fairly straightforward to detect that this query is not in English.

Any plans for better l10n?




Yes, most definitely plans for this are on the list! It's a recurring piece of feedback.
