Change the default language to Chinese

[c2006878]

The default language now is English. If I want to change it to Chinese, which configuration file do I need to modify? Not just the switching of buttons.

@c2006878 Currently, there is no provision to do that. You will have to switch language manually by using Language menu as seen in the image below

I checked the information and found that the configuration of i18n can be modified in packages/nc gui/plugins/a.i18n.ts. But it didn't take effect, why is that?

export const createI18nPlugin = async (): Promise =>
createI18n({
locale: 'en', // Set the initial locale

fallbackLocale: 'en', // Set the fallback locale in case the current locale can't be found

legacy: false, // disable legacy API (we use the composition API and inject utilities)

globalInjection: true, // enable global injection, so all utilities are injected into all components

})

There are a lot of locations in the translation file to do the translation, why gui display incomplete? Only part of the translation is shown.

If you are talking about changing the default locale locally, your approach is correct. You may need to update the following files as well. Just search en and replace the corresponding value.

Moreover, since lng is read from local storage, after modifying the source code, you need to clear the local storage first.

@githubmyname that means the translation hasn't been applied for that particular text.

Thanks for the details @wingkwong
