Multilanguage support?

Hi,

is it possible to send language in the request? Example I have mobile app that talks with element-api and user (not logged in) would be able to choose the language that he wants to see.

thanks

Ok, so I've been playing a little bit with awesome new feature Sites and languages. My idea is to be able to get content from mobile app by sending language handle and be able to also get content from different sites.

This is how I did it, not sure if it is the correct way, but it works

I have one site with two languages

<?php

use craft\elements\Entry;
use craft\helpers\UrlHelper;

return [
    'endpoints' => [
        'api/news.json' => function() {

            $langHandle = Craft::$app->request->getQueryParam('lang', 'site1_en');

            return [
                'elementType' => Entry::class,
                'criteria' => ['section' => 'news', 'site' => $langHandle],
                'transformer' => function(Entry $entry) {
                    return [
                        'title' => $entry->title,
                        'url' => $entry->url,
                        'jsonUrl' => UrlHelper::url("news/{$entry->id}.json")
                    ];
                },
            ];
        }
    ]
];

and requests looks like this /api/news.json?lang=site1_es

Yep, that's how to do it!
