# Get Smart Snippets for Sitecore content
The [Coveo Machine Learning (Coveo ML)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/188/) [Smart Snippet](https://docs.coveo.com/en/laea5490/) feature targets [index](https://docs.coveo.com/en/204/) [items](https://docs.coveo.com/en/210/) whose `language` [field](https://docs.coveo.com/en/200/) value is `English`.
By default, Sitecore English version items are indexed with `en` as the `language` field value.
To be scanned as potential smart snippet answers to user queries, you must add an [indexing pipeline extension (IPE)](https://docs.coveo.com/en/206/) to your Sitecore source to replace `en` with `English` as the `language` field value on Sitecore items.
This article provides instructions on how to do this.

## Create the extension

. On the [**Extensions**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/extensions/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/extensions/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/extensions/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/extensions/)) page of the [Coveo Administration Console](https://docs.coveo.com/en/183/), click **Add extension**.
. In the **Add an Extension** panel, give your extension a name and a description. No need to select any additional item data options.

. In the **Extension script** field, paste the following code:

```python
language = document.get_meta_data_value('language')
if language[0] == 'en':
  document.add_meta_data({'language': 'English'})
```

. Click **Add extension**.

## Associate the extension to your source

To link your extension to a source, you can proceed as follows:

. On the [**Sources**](https://platform.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/sources/) ([platform-ca](https://platform-ca.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/sources/) | [platform-eu](https://platform-eu.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/sources/) | [platform-au](https://platform-au.cloud.coveo.com/admin/#/orgid/content/sources/)) page of the Coveo Administration Console, click the Sitecore source you want to apply your extension to, and then click **More** > **Add extensions** in the Action bar.
. In the **Add extensions** panel, on the **Common** tab, click **Add** > **Extension**.
. In the **Apply an Extension on Source Items** panel, select your extension in the dropdown menu.
. Under **Stage**, select **Post-Conversion**.
. Under **Action on Error**, select **Skip Extension**.
. In the **Conditions to apply** field, type `%[haslayout] == 1`. This condition ensures the extension is only applied to Sitecore HTML content items.

. Click **Apply extension**.
. Back in the **Add extensions** panel, click **Save**.
. Rebuild that source from your Sitecore instance, so that the extension gets executed on your items.
