## Details

Following instructions here:

> **[Overview - Dgraph](https://docs.hypermode.com/dgraph/overview)**

My Dgraph schema has the following predicate:  
`label: string @index(term, fulltext) @lang .`

I’m getting an error when I try to add the following GraphQL schema:

```auto
type Synonym @key(fields: id) {
    id: ID!
    label: String @search(by: [term, fulltext]) @dgraph(pred: "label@en")
}

$ curl -X POST http://192.168.1.2:4002/admin/schema/validate --data-binary @schema.graphql
{"errors":[{"message":"Schema is valid","extensions":{"code":"success"}}]}

$ curl -X POST http://192.168.1.2:4002/admin/schema --data-binary @schema.graphql
{"errors":[{"message":"resolving updateGQLSchema failed because line 2 column 7: Missing colon in type declaration. Got @ (Locations: [{Line: 3, Column: 4}])","extensions":{"code":"Error"}}]}

```

If i take out the @en from the GraphQL schema, it saves correctly however queries return null for field label because triple objects literals are language specific
