Let n be a cuspidal automorphic representation of GL (2, E), E a totally real field, and let be a CM quadratic extension of E; let denote the base change of π to [formula Omitted]. We show, using the quaternionic theta correspondence, that there exist algebraic Hecke characters ω of [formula Omitted], satisfying precise local and global conditions, such that the L-function of [formula Omitted] ω
