Adds an opt-in "language": "browser" value to setSiteLanguage, also available through ?language=browser. The step matches navigator.languages against translations available for the running WordPress version, trying browser preferences in order and falling back from regional tags to an available translation of the same language. This builds on the browser-language use case discussed in #1513.

If no translation matches or execution is outside a browser, the step selects en_US without downloading a translation package. Detection works in browser windows and workers; Node.js’s navigator locale is deliberately excluded. Explicit locale selection remains supported. Includes query API documentation, generated schema and handbook updates, and tests for matching, preference order, browser workers, and fallback behavior.

Validation:

  • npm exec -- nx run playground-blueprints:test:vite --testFile=set-site-language.spec.ts (21 tests passed)
  • npm exec -- nx run-many -t lint,typecheck -p playground-blueprints
  • npm exec -- nx build playground-blueprints

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Site language can be selected automatically using browser language preferences. Available translations are checked in preference order, with regional language fallbacks; US English is used when no match is available or browser language information cannot be accessed.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Query API and Blueprint documentation to explain browser-based language selection and its fallback behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

The Blueprint site-language step now supports selecting a translation from browser language preferences. Blueprint schemas and documentation describe locale matching and fallback behavior.

Changes: Browser-based site language selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and apply browser language
packages/playground/blueprints/src/lib/steps/set-site-language.ts, packages/playground/blueprints/src/tests/steps/set-site-language.spec.ts
The step checks browser language preferences and regional fallbacks, then updates WPLANG. It skips translation downloads for en_US. Tests cover matching, fallback, and translation package handling.
Update Blueprint language descriptions and schemas
packages/playground/blueprints/src/lib/v2/.../appendix-A-blueprint-v2-schema.ts, packages/playground/blueprints/public/blueprint-schema-validator.js, packages/playground/blueprints/public/blueprint-v2-schema-validator.js, packages/playground/blueprints/public/blueprint-schema.json
Blueprint v1 and v2 descriptions document browser-based locale selection and fallback behavior.
Document browser language selection
packages/docs/site/docs/developers/06-apis/query-api/01-index.md, packages/docs/site/static/handbook/blueprints-steps.md
The Query API and Blueprint handbook describe browser preference ordering, regional fallbacks, and the en_US fallback.
