From a learner perspective there is improved language handling for multi-language content, simplified display for multiple sources, and improved suggestions when there are no results.

Benefits and Use Cases: The updates deliver your learners seamless user experience and improved accessibility where there are multiple languages and content sources. This will help ensure your learners receive the most relevant content without duplicated results.
