# Code snippets

The main code snippet to enable BabelShark translation is available at your project page:

<figure><img src="/files/qOaLki59UpFVHu3q4zB2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Adding this code snippet initiates the loading of BabelShark code, its API and project settings. If current user has a translation language selected, the project will seamlessly switch to that language.

## Language drop-down

If you want to display a built-in language selection drop-down, add `.bs-activator` element to the required position:

```html
<span class="bs-activator" data-drop="auto"></span>
```

This will render a language selector:

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.babelshark.net/babelshark-basics/code-snippets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
