UI Language Control
From the UI Language Control section you can define the writing system of the objects that are displayed in the A-Z List.
There are two modes of behavior:

Objects whose writing system is different than the search term are not displayed – even if the title is in the writing system of the search term. For example, if you enter a search term in English, the A-Z List displays objects whose language is written in a Latin writing system such as English, French, or German – but not objects written in the Chinese, Arabic, or Greek writing systems – even if the title of the object has been translated into a Latin writing system language.
- SFX 4 behavior – you can have the A-Z List search for objects whose writing system is different than the writing system of the search term, but whose title is in the same writing system as the search term.
