## Language Variants
|
|
If a resource has multiple language variants and the difference between variants is only in the language of human readable fields then the [`Accept-Language`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Language) request HTTP header **SHOULD** be used to select the desired language variant.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /article HTTP/1.1
|
|
Accept-Language: en,en-US,fr;q=0.6
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
|
Content-Type: application/hal+json;charset=UTF-8
|
|
Content-Language: en
|
|
Vary: Accept-Language
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Language or Country-specific Data Structure
|
|
If the difference between language or country specific variants of a resource is bigger than just in the content of a human readable strings, for example the data structure of the resource representation is different, then a query parameter **SHOULD** be used to communicate the requested variant.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /article?market=en_US HTTP/1.1
|
|
```
|
|
```
|
|
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
|
|
Content-Type: application/hal+json;charset=UTF-8
|
|
Content-Language: en
|
|
Vary: Accept-Language
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
```
