I read all the documentation regarding translations (even started working on improving the translations in my language). I also read all docs about how to install and configure an instance. I checked if this is a custom config of the user and all administration screens available. However, I didn’t find anywhere how to chose the language that I want my instance to use. I want that my visitors and users
Inside production.yaml, there is a languages section with the list of the main languages of my instance. But it doesn’t affect how the UI is presented to the user.
Could someone help me pointing where in the docs I can do this configuration (or if there is something that I am missing here)?
Thanks for the explanation! Sometimes I prefer to choose the language of a specific site, but it makes complete sense for PeerTube to work like that. Not a big deal.
In any case, if I had this doubt, it may be possible that other people (and instances admins like me) will have it too.
Do you believe that it make sense to add this information to the docs (perhaps in PeerTube documentation) explaining this? If so, I am glad to make a PR with the updated documentation adding this piece of information.
PeerTube will serve the language the web browser asks for.
So when I am working abroad in the office or on holiday in the internet cafe I have to operate the UI in Chinese, Portuguese, Tagalog, English or Arabic??? To force the language onto the user is bad practice IMHO and should be made a user choice.
In the current situation PeerTube uses the web browser choice, and so the user choice. But the user still can change the interface language, and PeerTube will remember the choice in the future (using a cookie).
