Web interface is always displayed in German

[yvan-algoo]

Hi,

The web interface (https://europe.motis-project.de/ and https://routing.spline.de) is always displayed in German:

• I tried with both Firefox and Chromium, and verified that my Accept-Language HTTP request headers only mention French and English.
• I can not find a button in the UI to change the language.

However, from what I understand, English and French translations are available (https://github.com/motis-project/motis/tree/master/ui/web/src/Localization): am I missing something?

Regards,
Yvan

Currently, there's no detection of the language but you can use the lang query parameter:
https://europe.motis-project.de/?lang=fr
https://europe.motis-project.de/?lang=en

Thanks @felixguendling! Using the lang parameter in the URL is a good workaround :-)

I do not know if you want to close this issue or not, so I let it open.

We can leave it open until we have language detection working. Although not in the current UI version as this one is deprecated. But I'm working on a new one (currently only used for debugging).

Still relevant with v2 as it's not translated at all yet (TODO).

For now, we use the detected language from the browser:

motis/ui/src/lib/AddressTypeahead.svelte

Line 34 in d773eac

const language = browser ? navigator.languages.find((l) => l.length == 2) : '';

I'm open to add a button that let's the user change the language.
