"""Plugin to detect the search language from the search query.
|
|
|
|
The language detection is done by using the fastText_ library (`python
|
|
fasttext`_). fastText_ distributes the `language identification model`_, for
|
|
reference:
|
|
|
|
- `FastText.zip: Compressing text classification models`_
|
|
- `Bag of Tricks for Efficient Text Classification`_
|
|
|
|
The `language identification model`_ support the language codes (ISO-639-3)::

|
The `language identification model`_ is harmonized with the SearXNG's language
|
|
(locale) model. General conditions of SearXNG's locale model are:
|
|
|
|
a. SearXNG's locale of a query is passed to the
|
|
:py:obj:`searx.locales.get_engine_locale` to get a language and/or region
|
|
code that is used by an engine.
|
|
|
|
b. SearXNG and most of the engines do not support all the languages from
|
|
language model and there might be also a discrepancy in the ISO-639-3 and
|
|
ISO-639-2 handling (:py:obj:`searx.locales.get_engine_locale`). Further
|
|
more, in SearXNG the locales like ``zh-TH`` (``zh-CN``) are mapped to
|
|
``zh_Hant`` (``zh_Hans``).
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This plugin does only auto-detect the languages a user can select in
|
|
the language menu (:py:obj:`supported_langs`).
|
|
|
|
SearXNG's locale of a query comes from (*highest wins*):
|
|
|
|
1. The ``Accept-Language`` header from user's HTTP client.
|
|
2. The user select a locale in the preferences.
|
|
3. The user select a locale from the menu in the query form (e.g. ``:zh-TW``)
|
|
4. This plugin is activated in the preferences and the locale (only the language
|
|
code / none region code) comes from the fastText's language detection.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: There is a conflict between the language selected by the user and
|
|
the language from language detection of this plugin. For example, the user
|
|
explicitly selects the German locale via the search syntax to search for a term
|
|
that is identified as an English term (try ``:de-DE thermomix``, for example).
|
|
|
|
.. hint::
|
|
|
|
To SearXNG maintainers; please take into account: under some circumstances
|
|
the auto-detection of the language of this plugin could be detrimental to
|
|
users expectations. Its not recommended to activate this plugin by
|
|
default. It should always be the user's decision whether to activate this
|
|
plugin or not.
