Your whole comment assumes language identification is both trivial and fail-safe. It is neither and it can get worse if you consider e.g. cases where the page has different elements in different languages, different languages that are simil

You can run niri from within other DEs, but I'm unsure whether it works well for your use-case. From the docs[0]: "You can also run niri inside an existing desktop session. Then it will open as a window, where you can give it a tr
