Configuration Guide for Better Results
To improve the accuracy of your search results, especially for language learning, you should configure the Region and Language fields in the setup dialog.
| Filter | Description | Example (German) |
|---|---|---|
| Region | Two-letter country code (gl parameter) |
de for Germany |
| Language | Language restriction code (lr parameter) |
lang_de for Deutsch |
Example Setup
If you are learning German and want to search for the word "Tee":
- Open the Browser and select your notes.
- Go to Edit > Google Image Batch Downloader for Anki.
- Set Region to
de. - Set Language to
lang_de. - Click Start.
This ensures Google prioritizes results that are relevant to the German language and region, avoiding English-centric results.
