+    ``context`` is the OVOS-MSG-1 ``message.context`` dict the

+    a language:
+
+    1. ``context["lang"]`` — the top-level convenience key that
+       ovos-core's IntentService writes before invoking transformers
+       (``ovos_core/intent_services/service.py::_handle_transformers``).
+       This is the **current contract** between core and transformer
+       plugins; trust it when present.
+    2. ``context["session"]["lang"]`` — the normative session-carrier
+       field per OVOS-MSG-1 §4. Falls back here when a caller hands the
+       transformer a Message without going through ovos-core's
+       pre-processing (HiveMind relays, tests, alternative bus
+       clients).
+
+    The convenience top-level key is a known gap in the spec — the
+    transformer signature will likely grow an explicit ``lang`` kwarg
+    in a future revision, at which point this helper collapses to a
+    one-liner. Until then, the dual lookup keeps the plugin robust
+    against direct callers.
+
+    ``dict.get(key, default)`` returns ``None`` for keys present with a
+    ``None`` value (only a *missing* key triggers the default), so the
