The API accepts a uselang parameter (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Parse#Parameters_2), but we are not passing it. This would allow using template-based i18n, until on-wiki i18n is fully supported (e.g. with Gadgets 2.0). This is particularly important for wiki multi-language wikis such as Commons, which have existing i18n platforms such as https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:LangSwitch (among others). See Rillke's comments at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Extension_talk:GuidedTour/Navigate_to_the_next_step_using_a_custom_function_and_i18n
