• Instance: (eg: alpha-cht.dev.medicmobile.org, etc)
• Browser: (eg: Firefox, Chrome, incognito mode, etc, which worked, which didn't)
• Client platform: (eg: Windows, MacOS, Linux)
• App: (eg: webapp, admin, sentinel, api, couch2pg, cht-conf, etc)
• Version: (eg: 3.16.0-beta.2.)

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. What have you tried? Is there a workaround?

For the outgoing messages errors, do you have the message keys translated in the language that you switched to?

[dianabarsan]

Scheduled messages texts are generated on the fly, by the admin app, depending on the selected outgoing language.

User should be able to switch languages and changes should apply immediately

In my testing, a users language takes precedence over the default settings in the admin UI. So when I set my user's language in cht core via hamburger -> user settings -> Edit user profile:

This overrules what the App Admin -> Display -> Languages -> default app language.

I believe messages are always sent in default message language, regardless of the user preference that you're sending it to.

Maybe this has changed such that before 3.16 it worked differently?

Thanks @mrjones-plip . It seems to behave the same on master, so I won't be an issue for this release in any case. I will look deeper into this.

@ngaruko Can you please try and reproduce this, or close it if you're happy with the responses above?

@garethbowen Seems to work as expected. Closing this . 👍
