Settings for Summarizer to select default summary type and language

miicat_47

I would like to have section for summarizer in the settings, where I could set the default language and summary type

I always use the “Summary” and “Document language” options and have to always set them separately, which is inconvenient and makes the !sum bang useless as I would have to generate the summary, set my lang/type and then generate again

User would set the settings as wanted and when opening the summarizer page by link or using the !sum bang, the selected settings would apply automatically

100% agreed. Would love to set 'Summary' as default for type by default. At the moment I use the !sum bang, it generates the key moments and then I select Summary and re-do it. It's kind of a waste of Kagi resources.

Yes that would be great.

Some feedback about Universal Summarizer.
(I originally sent this feedback to the Kagi search team, and they suggested that I share my comments here.)

The meaning of "default" in the "Output Language" option

It seems that the "default" output language is set to English, even when the source (URL) is in another language.

Even after I changed the Interface Language to "Simplified Chinese" on the General Settings page, the "default" output language in the Universal Summarizer still outputs in English. However, when I clicked "summarize page" in the search results, the output was in "Simplified Chinese."

This caused some confusion for me.

Is it possible to set the "Output Language" default to a non-English option?

When I use "!sum <url>" or "!summ <url>", the "Output Language" field is always set to "default", which outputs in English.

I currently have to paste the URL into the Universal Summarizer input box instead of using bangs directly, which takes extra time.

Is there a way to change the default output language for the "Output Language" field?

Alternatively, could you implement something like "!sum_zh <url>" or "!summ_zh <url>" to set the output language to Chinese directly when using bangs?
I tried searching for custom bangs like this but couldn't find any.

Furthermore, would it be possible to use cookies or sessions to remember the output language option selected by the user last time?

Universal Summarizer is an excellent tool, and I appreciate how it helps me save reading time. However, I find it inconvenient to manually paste URLs and select the output language each time.
