API Service Invalid Language Code

The language code specified in the request is invalid or not supported.

Understanding the API Service

The API Service is a powerful tool designed to facilitate seamless communication between different software applications. It allows developers to integrate various functionalities into their applications by making HTTP requests to the API endpoints. One of the key features of this service is its ability to support multiple languages, enabling applications to cater to a global audience.

Identifying the Symptom

When using the API Service, you might encounter an error message indicating an 'Invalid Language Code'. This symptom typically manifests as a failed API request, often accompanied by an error response from the server. The response may look something like this:

{
"error": "Invalid Language Code",
"message": "The language code specified in the request is invalid or not supported."
}

Exploring the Issue

The 'Invalid Language Code' error occurs when the language code provided in the API request does not match any of the supported language codes listed in the API documentation. Language codes are typically two-letter codes that conform to the ISO 639-1 standard, such as 'en' for English or 'es' for Spanish.

Common Causes

  • Typographical errors in the language code.
  • Using a language code that is not supported by the API.
  • Incorrectly formatted language codes.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the 'Invalid Language Code' error, follow these steps:

1. Verify the Language Code

Ensure that the language code you are using is correct and supported by the API. Refer to the API documentation for a list of valid language codes.

2. Correct Typographical Errors

Double-check your request for any typographical errors in the language code. Ensure that it is a two-letter code and matches the format specified in the documentation.

3. Update Your Request

If you find that the language code is incorrect, update your API request with the correct code. For example, if you intended to use English, ensure your request includes 'en' as the language code:

{
"language": "en"
}

4. Test the Request

After making the necessary corrections, test your API request again to ensure that the error is resolved. You should receive a successful response if the language code is valid.
