How to set the default language?

[tvvocold]

I try to set L22 of manifest.webapp to zh_cn and add the translation.json in /locales/zh_cn/, but it seems didn't work.

In order to set the default language, you need to open this file https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/blob/master/app/scripts/helpers/i18next.js#L29. But why do you need to set the default language when you can change language in the settings page?

But why do you need to set the default language when you can change language in the settings page?

Because the default setting page is lack of Chinese.(zh_cn) (Check it in https://laverna.cc/index.html#/settings or http://laverna.github.io/static-laverna/#/settings)

In order to set the default language, you need to open this file https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/blob/master/app/scripts/helpers/i18next.js#L29.

The i18next.js is Not exit in https://github.com/Laverna/static-laverna :)

You're right. For now, you can switch to another language by opening Developer console and executing:

localStorage.setItem('vimarkable.configs-appLang', JSON.stringify({name: 'appLang', value: 'zh_cn'}));

localStorage.setItem('vimarkable.configs-appLang', JSON.stringify({name: 'appLang', value: 'zh_cn'}));
<undefined

That's what i got in chrome console.
BTW, is there any way to change the lang with js?

It didn't take effect because right now zh_cn locale doesn't exist in the static version https://github.com/Laverna/static-laverna/tree/gh-pages/locales

Please commit the ar locale into the static version.

The locales were updated.
