Idk how it works exactly but often webapps decide the language based on browser/system language. I believe that there's a header for it.
-
abcdev30755y@Lor-inc that is different. We used geolocation and based on city state or province decides the local langauges.
-
@abcdev I travel a lot, but that doesn't mean I speak French, Indian, Flandrian, German, Croatian, Italian or whichever country I try to access the Internet from at that moment. I'd complain too.
In my opinion this is the ideal language logic:
Default is system
There's a drop down, visible but not too annoying, with local language as second option and English as third, rest in alphabetical order. -
abcdev30755y@Lor-inc that was for only a particular section in application. Rest app follows system language as it should.
-
@abcdev If you have appropriate language logic in place, why create a second, irritating one for just one feature?
-
@abcdev Yes. I thought it's about client who pays for the entire app to be designed to their taste.
Created 'GET STARTED' section in our application in English. It will guide new user to Highlight some App features.
End User started Posting screenshot of it in our feedbacks service : What this is?
Implemented 'GET STARTED' in local languages.
End user started posting screenshot of Language Drop Down, what this is?
Implemented 'GET STARTED' on Location based Language.
End User : I am here in Banglore seeing it in Different Language, my other Partners in Hyderabad are seeing it in different language. What this is?
Removed 'GET STARTED'.
End User : It was a nice feature. Why you removed it? What this is?
May be i over reacted but i am not bringing it back.
