Cloud Natural Language API: what are accessible languages?

100 Views Asked by At

I'm trying to run Natural Language API with Google Sheets using this documentation. Natural Language API demo has a list of possible languages, which lists German too. But if I set the language in Google Script as de-de I get an error 400:

Exception: Request failed for https://language.googleapis.com returned code 400. 
Truncated server response: 
{ "error": { "code": 400, "message": "The language de is not supported for entity_sentiment analysis.", 
"status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT" ... (use muteHttpExceptions option to examine full response).

Do I do something wrong? Or is everything correct and this kind of analysis doesn't work with German?

Edit: This is the script I use. The language setting in the line 118 is currently empty: language: '',.

A funny effect I can't explain by myself: even without an explicit language setting the script/the API seems to recognize the language of the text input - whily trying to analyze a german text I get an error message The language de is not supported for entity_sentiment analysis. with or without language setting.

// To learn how to use this script, refer to the documentation:
