Description

Problem

From Yaron: "Hey everyone, I wanted to raise a concern about the app and web behavior; most of the products documented in Israel have their image tagged as English, even though the product is clearly in Hebrew. Is there a way to configure a default language for image tagging in the app? Is there an easy way to change the language using the web interface? Thanks :)"

Tasks

  • Put the languages of the current country at the top of the language list, in a specific section
  • Propose changing the défaut contribution language when switching countries
  • Propose changing the défaut UI language when switching countries
  • Use MLKit to spot the language of a newly taken image, and check it's in the right language (and propose an optional language change if it's not coherent)
  • Use MLKit to propose fixing existing selected images and put them in the right language
  • Use MLKit to propose fixing existing fields and put them in the right language

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the app currently handles language selection and country switching. Identify where the language list is populated and modify it to show the current country's languages at the top. For example, look at the country selection logic and language provider.
