Change default language based on YAML data

[xplosionmind]

Describe the feature

As I understand, currently this plugin could automatically switch languages based on folders. Nevertheless, I have notes in Italian, English and French placed everywhere in every folder of my vault.

What I would like to have is for the plugin to read the lang: parameter in YAML and consequently set the language for that note.

For example:

lang: it

would set the language of the page in Italian.

Furthermore, it should be possible to set a default language, so that if lang: is not specified, it is the one chosen to be the main one.

Does this fix a problem? If so, specify.

Did you consider other alternatives?

Right now I am using the plugin for English notes only.

I understand your Requests, but you have to remember that on changing the Language the User might also need to change their API Provider (because one might not be available in that language). How would that work?

How would that work?

There is no better solution, so I guess it would!

Would you be fine with using the Values on the left side as the Language Codes for the lang attribute?

export const LANGUAGES = {
    "en_US": "English (US)",
    "hi": "हिन्दी (Hindi)",
    "es": "Español (Spanish)",
    "fr": "Français (French)",
    "ja": "日本語 (Japanese)",
    "ru": "Русский (Russian)",
    "en_GB": "English (UK)",
    "de": "Deutsch (German)",
    "it": "Italiano (Italian)",
    "ko": "한국어 (Korean)",
    "pt_BR": "Português do Brasil (Brazilian Portuguese)",
    "ar": "اَلْعَرَبِيَّةُ‎ (Arabic)",
    "tr": "Türkçe (Turkish)",
    "cn": "中国人 (Chinese)"
}

Perfect! This is what I am using. For English I am just using `en`, but that I would choose it as default lang. Thanks a lot!
