Ads only in selected language?

Is such filter possible?

Hello friends,
just started with adsense recently and was wondering - is it possibly to make google display only ads that are in my language (for example Hungarian?), because I doubt my visitors are very knowledgeable or interested in English ads.

Currently they display 50/50 - english/my site language.

Any tips how to deal with this?
Should I set my default language in my head section (how?). I've searched in Adsense control panel, but I couldn't find anything related.

Thank you : )

update: I tried adding these into my head section:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="(language)" />
and this:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="(language)" lang="(language)">

But so far no results, any ideas?

I don't think it's anything you can set on your site. Are you located in Hungary, and is your site in the Hungarian language?

Apparently you are supposed to set your preferred language when you sign up - do you remember if you set it to Hungarian?

RESOLVED ! : )
I had to use it like this:
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_language = 'hu';

I'm not from Hungary actually, just used it as an example. Anyway this works. Shame Google never provided me with this info. I had to go looking source codes of other sites in my country : P
Hope this information helps someone out. Cheers : )

punisa, you are not allowed to alter the code. It is a breach of the TOS.
You said you looked at others, but they may be premium publishers and allowed to do it.
