L10n multi Language problem

[jgaehring]

@mstenta

My understanding (correct me if I’m wrong @jgaehring ) is that Field Kit will ask the server for the user’s default language, and then will use that to select the language to use in the Field Kit UI.

That is correct.

FWIW the localization features in Field Kit v1.x were experimental. All future work is being done for Field Kit v2.x. If you’re building an application on top of Field Kit you will want to familiarize yourself with the changes that are happening in 2.x of farmOS and Field Kit. Happy to chat about that in the chat room, or if you want to hop on the next monthly call we might be able to give you an overview, based on what you’re doing.

Yea, I definitely want to echo all of this. As of now, there won’t be any real concerted efforts to improve the l10n module in Field Kit 1.x at all, unless it’s a minor bug with a super quick fix. But I’m very open to working with you on improving things for 2.0, or if you want to work on improvements to 1.x yourself, walking you through the system as it is now and answering any questions you might have. Like Mike said, the next monthly call would be a great opportunity to discuss it. If you think you can attend, feel free to add this issue to the agenda.

For now, I’m going to close Guide to Translating Field Kit ⚠️ EXPERIMENTAL!! · Issue #376 · farmOS/field-kit · GitHub and update the “Update” to make it clear this won’t be supported in 1.x going forward.
