Using Google Translate to translate a website from English to Punjabi produces Punjabi text where each sentence ends with a full stop ( . ) sign. Example:

https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&client=tw-ob&sl=en&tl=pa&u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FMoon

The expected behavior would be for each sentence in Punjabi to end with a danda (।) instead. This may also apply to other Indic languages. I'm reporting the issue for Punjabi since we got a specific request (

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215083 ) for Content Translation (

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation ) which integrates Google Translate services.

I have informed our engineering team of this feature request. There is currently no ETA for its implementation.

A current workaround would be to check the returned "boundingPoly" [1] "vertices" for the returned "textAnnotations". If the calculated rectangle's heights > widths, than your image is sideways.
