http://localhost/ticket/1452 <p> There are issues with setting the site's language according to the browser detection: </p> <ul><li>Many browsers have the language setting incorrectly set. e.g. people who download US versions of Mozilla, pirated US copies in the far east. </li></ul><ul><li>Although thedatahub.org has a worldwide audience, many CKAN instances are designed for a particular country's citizens. So Open Berlin should probably be in German as default for all. </li></ul><p> I suggest the site should have a default language saved in the config. The browser language *should* be detected, and that prompts a flash message offering to change to that language. And if you change language that is saved in the cookie (as we currently do). </p> <p> Then do some testing to see if this suits people. </p> en-us http://assets.okfn.org/p/ckan/img/ckan_logo_shortname.png http://localhost/ticket/1452 Trac 0.12.3 dread Mon, 14 Nov 2011 13:09:49 GMT http://localhost/ticket/1452#comment:1 http://localhost/ticket/1452#comment:1 <p> Seb Bacon: </p> <blockquote class="citation"> <p> I agree.  It is quite standard for people to have their browser language as en-US in many countries. </p> </blockquote> <blockquote class="citation"> <p> Yes, geo-location is likely to be better if you want to automate it. </p> <p> <a class="ext-link" href="http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country"><span class="icon">​</span>http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country</a> </p> <p> But I wouldn't automatically detect it at all.  Just have a default language for each site, as you suggest. </p> </blockquote> Ticket ross Wed, 20 Jun 2012 11:09:47 GMT http://localhost/ticket/1452#comment:2 http://localhost/ticket/1452#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> changed from <em>new</em> to <em>closed</em> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> set to <em>wontfix</em> </li> </ul> <p> I believe this has been addressed by Toby. </p> Ticket
