Abstract: A user query, such as a user query processed by the online game system, is provided as input into a trained machine learning model. The machine learning model predicts candidate languages of the user query and outputs language confidence scores for the candidate languages. The user query is also matched with stored query data associated with game information in individual language databases for the respective candidate languages. A match scores may be determined based on a certainty of the respective response matches. The match scores and the language confidence scores may be weighted to determine a weighted score. The weighted scores of the response matches are applied to decide which game information retrieved from the identified database is used in forming a response of search results to the user.
