The endpoint returns general information on the asset based on the asset ID in the chosen language (default is English). It will also return the maintenance_reason if the selected asset is currently in maintenance mode.
Translation troubleshooting
Scenario 1: Description received in English instead of the chosen language
If Bitpanda does not support the language requested in the header, you will receive a description in English in the response. Currently, Bitpanda supports translation for German, Polish, French, Spanish, Italian and Turkish.
Scenario 2: Description received is empty
In some exceptional cases, a new asset can be released before having all the translations in supported languages available. If you received an empty description in the response, you would need to make another call with the language parameter changed to English (en) to get the default assets description.

It is based on an open-source technology and operates with no central authority. This means that nobody owns or controls the network and everyone can take part. Bitcoin was conceived in 2008 by a person or group going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto, whose real identity is still unknown. Bitcoin’s supply is limited to a fixed number of 21,000,000 units."
