Remarks of type warning not available in other languages
Tiam-Abderezai opened this issue · comments
Is it possible to add warning remarks in other languages? When I query the URL by language, say "es" or "fr" for example, it defaults to German for the "text" and "summary" fields of the "warning" type of "remakrs". It works for English or German, but not other languages.
Remarks like for "hints" translate to other languages just fine however.
Thank you for all your work btw, really awesome API.
Thanks for asking.
bvg-rest uses hafas-rest-api, which just passes the language query parameter as-is as opt.language into bvg-hafas, which in turn is just a thin layer around hafas-client's bvg profile. hafas-client merely sends the language code to HAFAS. So unfortunately, we cannot control which languages BVG's HAFAS API returns translated remarks for.
It seems like that, for some languages (I think de & en), all remarks have translations – both hint, which are automatically assigned, and warning, which are manually assigned by an operator. I tried tr, pl and ar, but they seem to have only a fraction of remarks translated.
There is a thing you can do: Email them and ask about support in their official mobile app for e.g. Arabic. If they start translating their remarks, they will immediately show up as translated in v6.bvg.transport.rest, too.
If that doesn't answer your question, please re-open this Issue.
