Part of the UI is not loading the correct language

[nuwanchamara]

I have a BaseActivity which Extends AppCompatActivity.

public class BaseActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    private final String TAG = "BaseActivity";

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
        Log.e(TAG, "LANGUAGE : " + C.CurrentLanguage);
    }


    @Override
    public void applyOverrideConfiguration(Configuration overrideConfiguration) {
        if (overrideConfiguration != null) {
            int uiMode = overrideConfiguration.uiMode;
            overrideConfiguration.setTo(getBaseContext().getResources().getConfiguration());
            overrideConfiguration.uiMode = uiMode;
        }
        super.applyOverrideConfiguration(overrideConfiguration);
    }
}

After Changing the Language it look like this.

I have checked for missing translations. But all the strings are there . But not loading some of the strings. How to solve this issue

I have same problem

Guys, could anyone create a small sample project that can reproduce the issue? since I can't replicate it on my side. I've been using this approach (not the library) for years and have never faced this issue.

[TikTak123]

I made this project using fragments. https://github.com/TikTak123/LanguageFragmentExample

I made this project using Conductor. https://github.com/TikTak123/LanguageConductorExample

Both have the same problem. Here is the video that plays the bug. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xU90veGEjSpQb-AEg9cFkk7Bhxnt6Nwn/view?usp=sharing

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Change the language to Ukrainian.
2. Open another window.
3. Go back.

@TikTak123 thanks for the sample project! Finally, I can reproduce it.

Looks like a web view resets the locale to the device default. There is another issue submitted today reporting the same behavior.

I'll investigate that soon and check what I can do. Stay tuned.

@nuwanchamara Have you solved the problem with changing the language? I also have this problem even without WebView. This bug works after changing the language and it does not always work, and not everywhere and not on all devices. I can’t reproduce it in the sample project. Other than that, I'm not sure if this is the case with the Lingver library, since I use the Conductor library instead of fragments. Can you write a sample project where this bug is reproduced in your case?

As my case, I still have not found the answer. Here are my other language change questions: https://github.com/YarikSOffice/lingver/issues/11 https://github.com/bluelinelabs/Conductor/issues/579 https://github.com/bluelinelabs/Conductor/issues/580

Hi, I was also having this issue and i fixed it by this code. I don`t know if this is good way of doing it or not but it worked for me. override fun onDestroy() { super.onDestroy() context?.let { Lingver.getInstance().setLocale(it, getLocale()) } // get actual selected locale here webView.destroy() }

[YarikSOffice]

There is a critical bug in version 1.2.0. According to my tests, it happens while setting a locale with a country qualifier ( e.g. en_US) on Android API 24 and above.

Kindly update the library and let me know if it's fixed for you.

Also, the latest version addresses the well-known bug with WebView related to locales. Kindly check the documentation for more info as well as the sample project for an example of implementation.

[TikTak123]

This is didn't help me, but in my app I fixed this issue like this:

    @Override
    protected void onContextAvailable(@NonNull Context context) {
        super.onContextAvailable(context);
        Lingver.getInstance().setLocale(context, Lingver.getInstance().getLocale());
    }

Every time when Controller created it calls onContextAvailable method where I set locale again.

@YarikSOffice I have the same problem and after update the library to latest version (1.2.1), My problem was not solved. I use this lib in the android project.

what can i do?

[YarikSOffice]

@rexi1r could you describe your issue in more details? a sample project reproducing the issue will be highly appreciated since I've been not able to identify it for a long time already.

[rexi1r]

@YarikSOffice yeh, This problem often occurs at the first application opening. you can see the tab's name is correct language but the content of tab that is inside a fragment, it's not correct, I will try to create a sample application but, our problem occurs on our situation, so it's better to solve this problem for all.

[YarikSOffice]

@rexi1r a sample project will significantly help fixing this issue for everyone. Thanks in advance!
