Description

Currently a single-line request for /v1/search?lang=es&text=Париж, Франция (Paris, France output in Spanish) handles altnames on the way in and out. However, the equivalent structured request handles neither.

Research direction

Start with the /search/structured endpoint and compare its behavior with the linked /v1/search request for the Spanish Paris, France example. Done means structured requests handle alternate names on input and output consistently with the single-line request; the payload names no source files or tests, so those must be located first.
