On #3095737: Convert internationalization modules: config_translation, content_translation, locale, language module hook_help() to topic(s) → we created a help topic, core/modules/help_topics/help/language.detect.html.twig, which includes a list of the commonly-used language detection methods.
It would be good if that list could be generated from the code instead of being hard-wired in the template.
This issue is about seeing whether this is possible. Some questions to explore:
a) The list in the current help topic was curated and ordered. It doesn't include all detection methods. Is it OK to include all or just confusing? And does the order matter?
b) The descriptions in the help topic -- is there some place we can take them from in the code?
The topic has this in it (in patch format):
+<h2>{% trans %}What language detection methods are available?{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}The available detection methods depend on what modules you have installed. Some of the most commonly-used language detection methods are:{% endtrans %}</p>
+<dl>
+ <dt>{% trans %}URL{% endtrans %}</dt>
+ <dd>{% trans %}Use the language from the URL, which can either be in a path prefix like <em>example.com/fr/page_path</em> for French (fr) language, or in a domain like <em>fr.example.com/page_path</em>.{% endtrans %}</dd>

+ <dt>{% trans %}Session{% endtrans %}</dt>
+ <dd>{% trans %}Use the language from a session parameter or a request parameter; for example, adding <em>?language=fr</em> to the end of the URL.{% endtrans %}</dd>

Hello @andypost , we were looking at this issue during Drupalcon Lille 2023 (Issue Triage Session).
This does not seem to be something a novice can work on easily without adding/filling up the rest of the information under 'Proposed Resolution, Remaining Task' etc.
It would be helpful if you could update these before friday.
