This doesn't match with another reply I hae received. I am creating a keyword in an account and it gets an error related to the language as the system detects it as a different language and so does not approve the ad. This is what I was told
> It seems that the mechanism we use to determine the language for a given ad group is via a specific criterion. Since the ad group in question here doesn't have a language criterion, we can't determine which language the keywords are using, hence the error. I believe you can remedy this by creating a new language criterion <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v17/AdGroupCriterion#language> in the ad group with the language <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/data/codes-formats#languages> you want to use for the keywords. Those are the links I was given and those documents do include details of using the language criterion. This does not seem to be related to targeting so should this be possible?
