Interface: support switching language of DDC labels #7

Closed nichtich closed 2 years ago

nichtich commented 3 years ago

We have DDC at least in German via https://coli-conc.gbv.de/api/ and in Norsk via http://data.ub.uio.no/skosmos/ddc/, so support switching between these DDC backends to select language of DDC labels. Alternatively name it "DDC source" or similar instead of language with same effect.

See at OCLC for a list of DDC translations. Available under a CC license, at least German, Norks, and Swedish.

I implemented switching of label language with Norsk as the first alternative option. Code can still be cleaned up a little bit, and we could discuss the interface. It is only a first suggestion, so please give feedback! See Dev.

What's also missing is that the chosen language is not remembered, i.e. after a reload of the page, it will return to German as the default. I would suggest simply adding a URL parameter for this if it's a language other than the default. Much easier to implement than using local storage or cookies.

Please let me know if there are any other languages of DDC available via an API. I couldn't find any other but I'm sure they are out there.
