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.
