Page Langs

Detects all languages used on a webpage — both declared (html@lang, hreflang, nested lang=, meta content-language) and actually present in the body text using Google CLD3 WASM. Reconciles the two signal sets and flags mismatches for i18n audits, hreflang validation, and multilingual content verification.

page-langs

Detect all languages used on a webpage — declared and in the body text. Node 22+ required. Uses playwright-cli for the browser pass and Google CLD3 (WASM) for content-based detection.

Setup (one-time)

Install cld3-asm into the skill directory before first use:

if [[ -n "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-}" ]]; then
  SKILL_DIR="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}"
else
  SKILL_DIR="$(find ~/.claude -path "*/page-langs" -type d 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
fi
npm install --prefix "$SKILL_DIR"

The WASM model is bundled in the package — no network fetch at runtime.

Workflow

Step 1 — Locate the scripts

if [[ -n "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-}" ]]; then
  SKILL_DIR="${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}"
else
  SKILL_DIR="$(find ~/.claude -path "*/page-langs" -type d 2>/dev/null | head -1)"
fi
COLLECT="$SKILL_DIR/scripts/collect.js"
DETECT="$SKILL_DIR/scripts/detect.mjs"

Step 2 — Open the page

playwright-cli open "$URL"

If the page has cookie banners or overlays, use the page-prep skill to dismiss them before continuing.

Step 3 — Collect signals and detect languages

playwright-cli run-code --filename="$COLLECT" \
  | node "$DETECT" --output ./page-langs-output

Step 4 — Verify output

cat ./page-langs-output/langs.json

Check for common failure modes:

detected is empty → wordCount is very low (page didn't render JS content or is bot-blocked); try --headed or run page-prep first
Command exits non-zero → playwright-cli lost the session; re-run Step 2 before Step 3
declared fields are all null → page has no language markup at all (valid finding, not an error)

Output file: ./page-langs-output/langs.json

Output

Field	Description
`detected`	CLD3 results: language, probability, is_reliable, proportion
`declared`	Structural signals: htmlLang, nestedLangs, hreflang, metaContentLanguage
`reconciliation`	agreement / declaredNotDetected / detectedNotDeclared
`wordCount`	Words in visible body used for CLD3

Reconciliation signals

Field	Meaning
`detectedNotDeclared`	Languages in the body not declared in markup — add hreflang or lang=
`declaredNotDetected`	Declared in markup but absent from body — stale hreflang?
`agreement`	Both declared and detected — healthy

Dependencies

Optional sibling skill: page-prep — invoke before Step 2 to dismiss overlays.

Notes

Short pages: CLD3 returns nothing if wordCount is very low (~< 10 words).
Language codes: CLD3 emits ~ISO 639-1 (en, fr). Structural signals may be BCP-47 (en-US, x-default). Reconciliation normalises on the primary subtag; raw values are preserved in declared.
New convention: this is the first skill in this plugin with a runtime npm dependency. See references/output-schema.md for the vendoring fallback.
