\n element is written in a different language or script from its content, and chooses a title that
\n is similar to the language and script of the document. This is based on the general principle
\n that a document\u2019s title should be written by the language or script of its primary contents.
\n It’s one of the reasons where

\n for web result titles.\n<\/p>\nMultilingual titles<\/h2>\n
\n The most popular pattern is to append an English version to the original title text.\n<\/p>\n
\n same contents in different languages (Hindi and English). While the title is in both languages,
\n the document itself is written only in Hindi. Our system detects such inconsistency and might use
\n only the Hindi headline text, like:\n<\/p>\nLatin scripted titles<\/h2>\n
\n a different script or alphabet. For example, consider a page title for a song written in Hindi
\n but transliterated to use Latin characters rather than Hindi\u2019s native Devanagari script:\n<\/p>\nSummary<\/h2>\n
\n or transliterated titles, our systems may seek alternatives that match the predominant language of the
