Language flipping back to English

[HJvD123]

Hi,

I use my Traccar (3.9 on RaPi 3 with Debian Jesse light) in Dutch. Every time I log in I have to select the Dutch language, Traccar is not remembering this for me. Then when I'm not logging out and look again next day the server has flipped back to English. So what I'm wondering is why there is no default language setting (set and forget) in the account area? Most users never gonna change their using language I think.

Traccar uses default browser language. If it's English, it means you have set English in your browser.

[HJvD123]

Traccar is always suggesting I use the English language on my Dutch Firefox browser 50.1. After your comment I tried the Edge browser: suggesting English in a Dutch browser.

[tananaev]

What do you mean by "suggesting"? Which one is it using?

[HJvD123]

Well, when I open my browser and filling in the url from Traccar. The login popup is showing the English language by default. You said it should choose Dutch by default because the browser is Dutch.

[tananaev]

Which language is the login page in?

[HJvD123]

English as well.

[tananaev]

Try to check window.navigator.language variable value in the browser developer tools.

[HJvD123]

Poa. Not very familiar with the developer tools. Tried looking tough in the debugger window but didn't found the variable you want me to look after.

[tananaev]

Just type it in the console and click "enter".

[HJvD123]

OK. Tried this. But no result in the debugger window by typing this variable. Tried "navigator.language" as well, but no result either.

[tananaev]

What do you mean by debugger window? Console? It should return you the value.

[HJvD123]

Well: the build in developper in Firefox tab debugger. No result for my search there.

[tananaev]

Not sure why you are on debugger tab when I asked you to use console:

[HJvD123]

OK. I'm still learning. The result is Array [ "nl", "en-US", "en" ] Do not know why there is "en-Us" and "en", I have a English spell checker installed but I can't see why this is interfering with Traccar.

[tananaev]

What if you type following expression:

window.navigator.userLanguage || window.navigator.language

[HJvD123]

Response: "nl" that is correct in my humble opinion.

[tananaev]

It is correct. It should load "nl.json" instead of "en.json". Please check network tab to confirm.

[HJvD123]

Checked network tab, found there: locale-en.js and en.json. No good, I guess?

[tananaev]

The only option I see is to access your computer remotely and see what's happening, if that's possible.

[HJvD123]

Well, is my issue a incident or are there more problems with the language selection. Do you want to understand what is going wrong so you can improve your program? I'm familiar with using Teamviewer for remote access.

[tananaev]

It's the first such problem that I hear of. Yes, I want to check to improve the program.

I guess you have solved this privately. Issue can be closed.
