Hello! 

Have an issue using API for Structured Snippet Extensions.
Description
There is a field in API "header" which should contains exactly localised header with no information which localisation is used and because of that there are some issues. When same header is the same for several languages. For e.g. Models header is the same for English and Catalan. (This is only one example, there are more... )
It causes some issues, because when I create new structured snippet extensions through API with header: Models it is always displays on platform as Catalan language localisation as API does not provide any ability to send also language code for chosen header. And UI must be displaying language for first matching header in the list of header localisation. 

How could this be fixed? And maybe there is some solution for the issue?

Thanks!

The payload.json file contains payload to AdWords API. 
As you can see "header" in payload is "Models". It is saved in the UI with language "Catalan" by default as there is no way to pass language through API and set that this is English(US), for instance.  

So if there are same headers values for several languages - first in the list got's displayed in the UI. (Same for "Модели" header as well. It is always saved as Bulgarian, even if I want to save it as Russian).

So things got even more complicated when it comes to import or sync campaigns... As in the response from Adwords API (getEntityFromAdwordsAPI.json) we get only header with no mention about chosen language ... So how do we know that header "Models" is in English not Catalan?

Hope it helps to understand the issue. 
Thank you!

Hi Roman,

Thank you for sharing that information. I understand the issue now. I have filed a feature request with my team to allow you to pass the language as well. Please keep an eye on our Developer Blog for information on future releases.

Hi Roman,

I don't have any updates at this time, but I provided the structured snippets team with some more examples and was able to reproduce this problem using only the UI.

Thanks,

Hi Vlad,

I just tried this again, but using Assets instead of FeedItems, and I see the problem persists. I've asked the assignee for an update and will get back to you.
