Multi-Language Support

Developers are able to utilize the feature of multi-language in certain endpoints, as shown in the table of Applicable Locations, to assure that the content is fit to the language set in a store.

That said, it is achievable by setting header values, such as ACCEPT-LANGUAGE and CONTENT-LANGUAGE. Let's dive into each one of the header values settings.

Accept Language

Accept-Language, a request HTTP header, advertises which languages the merchant is able to understand, and which locale variant is preferred.

Set Language Code you want to get the response with. Use the iso_code value you get from the Language Endpoint as a value in this header.

By default, Accept-Language header is set to the Arabic language, with an iso_code of ar.

Content Language (Optional)

Content-Language, an entity header, is used to describe the language(s) intended for the audience, allowing the developer to differentiate based on the merchant's preferred language.

Checkout the Languages Endpoint for more on the ISO Codes.

INFO

🧵 TL;DR
The best way to think of this is that Content-Language describes content and Accept-Language conveys a preference.

Usage

The following cURL request example gets Product Details in the English and Arabic languages and returns a corresponding payload. Note that the header request is appending the ACCEPT-LANGUAGE to the specified language.
