## Purpose
Canonical specification for language-aware-content-delivery requirements synced from OpenSpec change deltas.
## Requirements
### Requirement: API supports language-aware content retrieval
The system SHALL support language-aware content delivery for hero and feed reads using selected language input.
#### Scenario: Language-specific latest article response
- **WHEN** a client requests latest article data with a supported language selection
- **THEN** the system returns headline and summary in the selected language when available
- **AND** includes the corresponding base article metadata and media attribution
#### Scenario: Language-specific paginated feed response
- **WHEN** a client requests paginated feed data with a supported language selection
- **THEN** the system returns each feed item's headline and summary in the selected language when available
- **AND** preserves existing pagination behavior and ordering semantics
#### Scenario: Tamil and Malayalam rendering quality support
- **WHEN** Tamil (`ta`) or Malayalam (`ml`) content is delivered to frontend surfaces
- **THEN** payload text preserves script fidelity and Unicode correctness
- **AND** frontend presentation hooks can apply readability-focused typography adjustments without changing response shape
### Requirement: Language fallback to English is deterministic
The system SHALL return English source content when the requested translation is unavailable or fails translation quality validation.
#### Scenario: Missing translation fallback
- **WHEN** a client requests Tamil or Malayalam content for an article lacking that translation
- **THEN** the system returns the English headline and summary for that article
- **AND** response shape remains consistent with language-aware responses
#### Scenario: Invalid translation fallback
- **WHEN** a client requests Tamil or Malayalam content for an article whose translation failed quality validation
- **THEN** the system returns English headline and summary for that article
- **AND** avoids returning invalid translated output
#### Scenario: Unsupported language handling
- **WHEN** a client requests a language outside supported values (`en`, `ta`, `ml`)
- **THEN** the system applies the defined default language behavior for this phase
- **AND** avoids breaking existing consumers of news endpoints
