How to fix: Incorrect language

Use a supported language for the target country

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic Article Header.

One or more of your products uses a language that is different from the target language for the country in which you wish to show your product(s). People who are shopping on Google expect that they'll be able to read and understand the title and description of your products, as well as the content of your landing page in one of the supported languages for the target country.

In order to show your products on Google, you are required to submit your product data in a supported language for the target country for each feed and ensure that the feed and landing page language is the same. Learn more about supported languages

Note: Google uses automated systems to determine the language of a product and sometimes products get flagged incorrectly. If you believe your product has been flagged incorrectly you can request a review.
