Configureable values for flesh kincaid tests becuase of different result depending on language

Created on 7 May 2025, about 1 month ago

Problem/Motivation

Yesterday, while searching for more information about the Flesch-Kincaid method for assessing the readability of texts, I came across the following blog article:
https://teachingisfun.net/uk/flesch-kincaid-readability-tests-in-english...

What I took away from this is that the formula needs to be adjusted depending on the language in which a text is written, because otherwise the result of the assessment will always be unfavorable for the text unless it is written in English.

Since Drupal has extensive multilingual functionality, it can be assumed that this module will also be used on websites that provide content in Spanish or German, for example.

Accordingly, it should be possible to adapt the formula for the test via the UI so that it can be used on as many websites as possible.

Current behavieour: Every non english text is rated as difficult
Expected behaviour: The module should provide us with more options to set the correct formular depending on what language a node is written in
