The `google_language` directive specifies the language parameter for Google mirror requests.

Description

The google_language directive within the ngx_http_google_filter_module is designed to facilitate the setting of the language parameter for requests directed towards the Google service when creating a mirror. This directive takes a single argument, which is the language code (e.g., 'en' for English, 'fr' for French, etc.). When configured in a specific location block, it allows for the handling and processing of requests that need to be tailored for users of different language preferences.

Upon receiving a request, the module leverages the specified language code to adjust headers appropriately and ensures that the content returned by Google mirrors the user's language choice. This is particularly useful in environments where localization is crucial, allowing the NGINX server to modify the request parameters seamlessly, thus enhancing the user experience by serving content in their preferred language.

As the directive operates under the location context, it is vital that it is placed correctly within the NGINX configuration to take effect. The directive can be combined with other Google mirror-specific settings to create a comprehensive mirror service that caters to diverse users by providing language-specific content. Proper implementation is essential to conditionally enable or disable language settings based on user demands or URL structures.

Config Example

location / {
    google on;
    google_language en;
}

Ensure the language code is supported by Google; unsupported codes will not function as expected.

If multiple language directives are present in the configuration, only the last one processed will take effect.
