While I was developing some services based on
API:Opensearch, I found that
the response of the same url request can be either Simplified Chinese or
Traditional Chinese. To be more specific, I would love to know how can I
determine the response language form from API layer ( Or other factors that
may have impact ) ? Since the document of API:Opensearch doesn't seem to
take language into consideration,
The OpenSearch Suggestions extension specification[1] does not allow for
returning additional metadata such as language with the response. You may
want to look at the prefixsearch query module[2] instead which allows for
returning the same results in a different format, although I don't know the
details of how language variants are handled in the search output.
