Language Support

It is very important that security-critical warnings and simulation results be shown to end users in a language they understand. Because of this, the Blowfish API translates them into the language specified in a request's language query parameter (e.g., ?language=es). The language codes accepted conform to RFC 5646: Tags for Identifying Languages (also known as BCP 47). Examples of valid language codes include "en", "en-US", "fr", "fr-FR", "es-ES", etc.

Within a browser context, the user's browser display language can be fetched using:

var userLang = navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage;
