No previous message | Next message →
Hello,
We have a portal where anyone can share any content much like Facebook posts or Twitter tweets.
And these posts could be in any language depending on the preference of the users.
So what could be the best way to handle the language of part success criteria in this situation, since it is not possible to predict in what language the user is going to create the content.
Any insights would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ajai

Is there a way to prompt the user for language or use system language?

Google Translate identifies languages reasonably accurately, so I was wondering if such a language recognition service was available as an API. A quick search turned up https://detectlanguage.com/. I don't know anything about this service other than it appears to do what you want.

Shouldn't the feed itself contain the language?

Right now we have lang attribute set for the entire document, not for
individual feeds. There could be many use cases like the entire post is in
a different language or some part of the post is in a different language
and this could extend to the comments on the post as well.
Thanks for the insights to the API Steve, we are exploring that option as
well.
Alternatively, We could nudge users upfront to specify the language of the
post before posting like we do for providing alt text for images. But we
want to keep this option as a last resort.
Thanks for the ideas, really appreciate it!
