Thanks you Jeff, Infact my main problem regarding this issue wasn't really if the "language" field was reliable or not, it was more that for me - since the beginning of adwords api - a unique keyword was defined by the couple id keyword / id adgroup.
Therefore it changes a lot of thing because I had to keep in mind that the same keyword can have 2 (at least) couples, one with the language field and one with an empty language field... If you allow me, that would be very interesting to have this field either filled for any criterion, or empty for any criterion (or not having this field at all :)) Cheers -Laurent On 13 mar, 16:56, AdWords API Advisor <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Laurent, > > The value of that field is "sometimes" generated by the AdWords > backend code (not something specific to the AdWords API).
