[Question] Item Translation Issue

[mrglotzbach]

I'm using the bring-api in a script to sync items from multiple other sources (e.g. Google Keep, Alexa, etc.) and consolidate onto a Bring! list. The items coming from the other sources are in English (US English) and when they are synced to Bring, they are therefore filed as "Own Items" rather than using Bring's default internal item list, icon, category. I believe this is a language translation issue given that the native Bring dictionary is in German (I think), but having tried a number of things I feel like I'm missing something simple on how this awesome API is meant to be used to address language?

So as far as we figured out, the API works best when using the same language as your bring account. Here you can find all the languages we found and just yours :)

The API loads the translations for the items at startup using your locale from your account.

Therefore usually it should not show up in Own unless you have an items which is not already part of the catalogue on Bring.
