Description

Short Description

Pre-populate the status language based on the active keyboard language, prior to final LanguageDetection check.

Description

  1. When composing a new status (toot), get the current keyboard language to pre-populate the status language.
  2. Switching keyboard language updates the status language, as long as it has not been manually set by the user.

Note: This could be a good complement to the LanguageDetection feature when publishing the status.

Applicable View

  • Status compose window

Research direction

Start at the status compose window and review the existing LanguageDetection flow alongside UIKit's UITextInputMode.primaryLanguage reference. The feature is done when a new toot uses the active keyboard language, keyboard changes update it until the user manually selects a language, and publishing retains the existing detection behavior.
