[Bug] - Configured language preference is ignored
Describe the bug
In Chrome I have configured that Dutch is my preferred language.
The effect (which is how it should happen) is that my browser sends out the Accept-Language header with the value nl-NL,nl;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7 to all websites.
The Kasm web UI shows everything in Dutch (which is correct).
For Kasm I personally prefer English so I change the setting in my Kasm profile from Auto to Engels: Verenigde Staten van America (which is US English as written in Dutch).
After I logout and login again the above setting is still there, yet the entire UI is still in Dutch.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open Chrome and in the Settings go to
Preferred languagesand make Dutch the preferred one (i.e. top of the list). - Go to a Kasm web UI and login.
- The Kasm web UI should be in Dutch now.
- Go to the Kasm settings and change the preferred language from
Autoto something else (which is not Dutch). A green popup is shown that it was successfully changed. - Logout and login again (which I'm not sure if that should be needed).
- The Kasm web UI is still in Dutch which is incorrect.
Expected behavior
- If set to automatic the UI should follow what is specified (and available) by looking at the
Accept-Languageheader. This seems to work. - If set to an explicit language then that should be used. This is not happening.

Additional context I have just updated my existing 1.10.0 installation to 1.14.0 using the commandline script for this purpose. This worked perfectly.
FYI: My current workaround (this only works because I'm the only user).
- In
/opt/kasm/current/www/locales/translate.jsmake the entire array ofcountryCodesempty. - In
/opt/kasm/current/www/locales/remove all subdirectories except/en/.
Thank you for the feedback. The dropdown in the profile sections is for changing the language settings of the container sessions when they are created. There is no option to set the UI language, its all automatic. We will be looking at allowing users to change the UI language instead.
There is an option for forcing the UI to a particular language (e.g https://my.kasm.server/?lng=en)

Thanks for pointing me to this documentation. This effectively makes this an invalid bug report. Sorry about that. Please close or leave open (as feature request for making the selection) you see as most useful for you.
