HelloSalut

How to Use This API

1. Greeting in a Specific Language

Replace lang with the language code:

https://www.fourtonfish.com/hellosalut/hello/?lang=fr

Supported codes: fr (French), es (Spanish), de (German), it (Italian), ja (Japanese), ko (Korean), pt (Portuguese), ru (Russian), zh (Chinese), ar (Arabic), hi (Hindi), and many more.

2. Get Your IP Information

Omit the lang parameter to get the greeting in your IP's detected language:

https://www.fourtonfish.com/hellosalut/hello/

3. JavaScript — Internationalize Your UI

async function setGreeting(lang) {
  const resp = await fetch(
    `https://www.fourtonfish.com/hellosalut/hello/?lang=${lang}`
  );
  const data = await resp.json();
  document.getElementById('greeting').textContent = data.hello;
  console.log(`In ${lang}: ${data.hello}`);
}

// User selected Spanish
setGreeting('es'); // Shows "Hola"

4. Python — Build a Language Selector

import requests

greetings = {}
for lang in ['fr', 'es', 'de', 'ja', 'ko', 'it']:
    resp = requests.get(
        'https://www.fourtonfish.com/hellosalut/hello/',
        params={'lang': lang}
    )
    greetings[lang] = resp.json().get('hello', '?')

for lang, greeting in greetings.items():
    print(f"{lang}: {greeting}")

print(f"\nTotal languages: {len(greetings)}")
