skyjake/lagrange Issue #579: Automatically select translation-from language to the page's lang parameter

2023-02-22 19:30:01 michaelnordmeyer

Currently the translation dialog will have the first language selected when the dialog is displayed, or the last selected one.

I'd like to have it to automatically select the language the response has attached to it in the `lang` parameter, if there is one and if it's a translatable language.

v1.15.5 added "Auto-detect" as the default source language. This is LibreTranslate's autodetection and does not check the MIME `lang`.

There is still some value in checking `lang` because LibreTranslate may not always choose the right language. However, in the wild, `lang` seems relatively rare so given the new autodetection working in most cases, implementing this is pretty low on the priority list.
