Hi, I ran a test using words with accents and some of them dont return any data (when the keyword tool does).
café, language: spanish, country: spain returns nothing for the last 12 months using the API. using the web keyword tool it returns 135,000 for last month. something i noticed from the returned xml is that the top part shows the word with the accent <ns2:keywords> <ns1:text>café</ns1:text> <ns1:matchType>BROAD</ns1:matchType> </ns2:keywords> but the bottom part shows the word encoded, not sure if that means anything <ns2:value> <Criterion.Type>Keyword</Criterion.Type> <text>café</text> <matchType>BROAD</matchType> </ns2:value> the word caffè (notice the different accent) does return values. all countries all languages.
