Respond in the WhatsApp User's Native Language

[OdyAsh]

When Ansari responds to invalid WhatsApp messages (or in the future, sends "loading"-like messages), we set it up with hard-coded responses in English, as can be seen here and here, etc..

We can potentially get the user's country code (from their phone number), which should allow us to deduce their country of origin, and thus create a function which takes that country code, and returns the suitable result based on the language deduced.

Possible challenges:

• Extracting the country code from the response, maybe this sample response structure of Meta's API could help :].

Logical limitations:

• I could be originally from Egypt, yet send a message from a phone number obtained during traveling, etc.
  • No obvious workaround that I can think of though, so we could just have to assume that a user holding a number from another country can speak its language ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
