When I submit my sitemap to Bing search engine with curl on my server in Germany, the returned message is in German. Can someone help me to ensure it is always returned in English?

This is the returned message:

Vielen Dank für das Übermitteln Ihrer Sitemap. Melden Sie sich bei den Bing Webmastertools an, um Ihren Sitemaps-Status und weitere Berichte zu Ihren Besucherzahlen auf Bing abzurufen.

I used this code:
www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://exampel.com/sitemap.xml

By default Bing will reply in the native language that it thinks is correct based on the location of the user. This is why you are receiving a response in the language of the region your server is located.

For a regular browser you are able to change which language you would like to be used in the Bing Setting Page. This just sets a cookie with what ever language you choose.

In order to get a reply in English you will have to send along this information in a cookie with your curl request.

Here I have added a cookie named "_EDGE_CD" with the value of "u=en-us", you could change "en-us" to which ever language/location preset you wish to use.

curl -b '_EDGE_CD=u=en-us' www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://exampel.com/sitemap.xml

Tests from my server located in France:

Without Cookie

# curl www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://exampel.com/sitemap.xml <html><body>Merci dâavoir envoyÃ© votre Sitemap. Utilisez les <a href="/webmaster">Outils pour webmasters de Bing</a> pour voir le statut de vos Sitemaps et davantage de rapports sur la maniÃ¨re dâutiliser Bing.<script language='JavaScript'>var s_account='msnportalbingwebmaster';</script><script language='JavaScript' src='/webmaster/content/s_code.js'></script><script language='JavaScript'>s.linkInternalFilters='javascript:,';s.trackExternalLinks=true;s.pageName='ping_sitemap';s.server='www.bing.com';s.channel = 'Webmaster';s.prop2 = 'fr-FR';s.eVar3 = 'fr-FR';s.prop5 = '';s.eVar5 = '';s.prop22 = '';/************* DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ! **************/var s_code=s.t();if(s_code)document.write(s_code)</script><script language='JavaScript'></script><noscript><img src='https://102.112.2O7.net/b/ss/msnportaldev/1/H.1--NS/0' height='1' width='1' border='0' alt='' /></noscript></body></html>

With Cookie:

curl -b '_EDGE_CD=u=en-us' www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=http://exampel.com/sitemap.xml <html><body>Thanks for submitting your Sitemap. Join the <a href="/webmaster">Bing Webmaster Tools</a> to see your Sitemaps status and more reports on how you are doing on Bing.<script language='JavaScript'>var s_account='msnportalbingwebmaster';</script><script language='JavaScript' src='/webmaster/content/s_code.js'></script><script language='JavaScript'>s.linkInternalFilters='javascript:,';s.trackExternalLinks=true;s.pageName='ping_sitemap';s.server='www.bing.com';s.channel = 'Webmaster';s.prop2 = 'en-US';s.eVar3 = 'en-US';s.prop5 = '';s.eVar5 = '';s.prop22 = '';/************* DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ! **************/var s_code=s.t();if(s_code)document.write(s_code)</script><script language='JavaScript'></script><noscript><img src='https://102.112.2O7.net/b/ss/msnportaldev/1/H.1--NS/0' height='1' width='1' border='0' alt='' /></noscript></body></html>

Keep in mind that if Bing changes the names of either the cookie name or cookie value this will no longer work. Though it will gracefully fail and just revert to using the default language that Bing chooses.
