Translated Responses: API Responses ready to use

Introduction

In our continuous effort to improve user experience, we're excited to introduce translated responses to our API. This feature allows developers to receive responses in their preferred language, enhancing the accessibility and clarity of error messages, validation messages, and date formats.

Implementation

Developers can leverage this functionality by including an Accept-Language header in their API requests. This header signals the desired language for the response. If the header is not provided, the default language will be English.

Here's an example of how to include the Accept-Language header in a request:

GET /v1/resource
Accept-Language: de-DE

In this example, the request is made with a preference for German (de-DE). If a translation for the specified language is available, the API will respond accordingly.

Translated Content

Error Messages

When an error occurs, the API response will include error messages in the specified language, providing developers with more contextual information about the issue at hand.

Validation Messages

Validation messages, such as those related to input data, will also be translated based on the language specified in the Accept-Language header. This helps developers address issues more effectively during the development and testing phases.

Default Language

If the Accept-Language header is not provided, or if the requested language is not supported, the API will default to English. This ensures that developers receive responses even if language preferences are not explicitly specified.

Supported Languages

Our API currently supports two languages (German and English), and we are continuously expanding our language repertoire to accommodate the diverse needs of our developer community.

Conclusion

By incorporating translated responses into our API, we aim to facilitate a smoother development experience for our users around the globe. The ability to receive error messages, validation messages, and date formats in your preferred language adds a layer of flexibility and accessibility to your development process.

We encourage developers to explore this feature, provide feedback, and take advantage of the multilingual capabilities we've integrated into our API. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out to our support team. Happy coding in your language of choice!
