`GenerateKeywordIdeas` The result cannot be obtained by the keyword with mixed multibyte and alphabet

[masaha...@gmail.com]

Hello, gusy.

The `GenerateKeywordIdeas service` results are missing the `keywordIdeaMetrics` field.

NG case
~~~
Method Name: /google.ads.googleads.v12.services.KeywordPlanIdeaService/GenerateKeywordIdeas

Request:
{"customerId":"XXXXXXXXXX","language":"languageConstants/1005","geoTargetConstants":["geoTargetConstants/2392"],"includeAdultKeywords":true,"keywordPlanNetwork":"GOOGLE_SEARCH","historicalMetricsOptions":{"includeAverageCpc":true},"keywordSeed":{"keywords":["衣服 ng"]}}

Response:
{"results":[{"text":"衣服 ng","keywordAnnotations":{}}],"totalSize":"1"}
~~~

But if I change the order of the keywords, I can get the results.
Why can't get the result when the keyword of the multibyte is headed?

OK case

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out to the Google Ads API Forum.

I’ve checked your scenarios, and I’ve replicated on my end as well. It appears that the starting keyword with 衣服 and adding “ng” is not generating ideas. Could you confirm if this is also happening in Ads UI’s Keyword planner? Or Keyword Planner in UI generating Ideas for keyword “衣服 ng”? If yes, you may privately provide the screenshot showing it so that we can check better.
