Language Loginscreen

jengelh

As with any website, I expect it to honor the language preference list as sent by the browser (“Accept-Language:”), not any system setting.

Hi,

yes, but german is the first language set in browser preference.

hi tommi,
I thought to have the same issue. After Upgrading to 3.4.20.1690+74.1 my welcome screen suddenly was english.
But after restarting Kopano-server - now its german again.
Have you tried a simple restart?

tommi

Hi,

yes I restarted Kopano and apache.

As a workaround you can set the fallback language to German:
https://documentation.kopano.io/webapp_admin_manual/config.html#default-language-and-fallback-language

Hi marty,

yes I know but I like to figure out why webapp behave like this. maybe i have overseen something or there is really a bug.
It is not so annoying because after login the language is correct.

Hi tommi,

I have the same problem for a long time already
it concerns checks the initialization of the language before the login, after the login it’s ok.
The error in apache log give this out

Unknown language: ‘de_DE’, referer: https://xxx.xxx/webapp/

no matter what I adjust in the config.php it always comes the same error (en_GB etc …)
this is a mistake but apparently does not demand so much attention;)

thanks

marty

I think it’s a bug in WebApp. I see a difference in the cookie and the language set by the admin.

On a test server could you change the line above
https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KW/repos/kopano-webapp/browse/index.php#87

and add
$lang = $Language->resolveLanguage($lang);

It should then look like

// Get language from the cookie, or from the language that is set by the admin
                $Language = new Language();
                $lang = isset($_COOKIE['lang']) ? $_COOKIE['lang'] : LANG;
                $lang = $Language->resolveLanguage($lang);
                $Language->setLanguage($lang);

Let me know if this works

thanks @marty

I made this adjustment in the webapp config.php

<------>// Location to the translations
<------>define(“LANGUAGE_DIR”, “server/language/”);

<------>// Defines the default interface language. This can be overridden by the user.
<------>if (isset($_ENV[‘LANG’]) && $_ENV[‘LANG’]!=“C”){
<------><------>define(‘LANG’, $_ENV[“LANG”]); // This means the server environment language determines the web client language.
<------>}else{
<------><------>define(‘LANG’, ‘de_DE’); // default fallback language
<------>}
and your entry in the index.php and it works now finally (after all the years;) thank you very much!!!
Can I safely set this up in my productive environment?

thanks!!!

Hi @Sinux ,

I commited the index.php fix in webapp master (https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KW/repos/kopano-webapp/commits/6e8dcb5ecd5db270615dc2d6ae4c57158c7ddfa4)

It will end up in the 3.5.3 release.

Sinux
