Roadblocks

They're setting the lang attribute to "en"
They're setting the Open Graph locale property to "en_US"
There's no category or different feed that indicates that this isn't in English

Given the above, the most feasible option would seem to be some sort of automatic language detection, but this seems like it might be error-prone. Lingua was one option I found that can do this.

KUOW appears to have begun posting some content in Spanish, which I'd like to make sure we're setting the right posting language set when sending to the Mastodon API- this is better for accessibility, and would enable folks who follow to only receive posts in the language they'd like. **Examples** - https://www.kuow.org/stories/condenado-residenta-por-robar-mas-de-70k-dolares-en-una-estafa-relacionada-con-tarjetas-de-residencia **Roadblocks** - They're setting the [lang](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/lang) attribute to "en" - They're setting the [Open Graph locale](https://ogp.me/#aidoptionalhrefoptionaloptionalmetadataa) property to "en_US" - There's no category or different feed that indicates that this isn't in English Given the above, the most feasible option would seem to be some sort of automatic language detection, but this seems like it might be error-prone.
