Language subtypes can be used by clients to indicate specific attributes in characters of a language other than the default language of a deployment. For example, German users may prefer to see addresses in German when possible. In this case, you can select German as a language subtype for the streetAddress attribute so that users can search for either the English or the German representation of the address. If you specify a language subtype for an attribute, the subtype is added to the attribute name as follows:attribute;lang-subtype.
The following listing shows an English language and German language subtype for the streetAddress attribute:
streetAddress;lang-en: 10 Schlossplatz, 76113, Karlsruhe, Germany streetAddress;lang-de: Schloßplatz 10, 76113, Karlsruhe, Deutschland
