Hi,

Your browser tells Share which language to use.

yeah i already read that, the problem is that for my company needs we have to keep the browser in english but my boss wants share in italian (no idea as to why) so i was wondering if there wa a way to achieve this.

For me it would be ok to use a very destructive approach too, like deleting allthe alfresco languages apart from italian so that that one would be the only one posibile for the service to use. The only problem is that i don't know where the languages are stored (and if it's even possible to just remove them) otherwise i would've probably already done that.

If you must "enforce" a specific language for all users of your Alfresco application, I advise using a simle HTTP proxy server (e.g. Apache / Nginx) and simply overriding the Accept-Language header to always use a hard value. That way you don't have to change anything in the Alfresco application (message bundles are difficult to "remove" because they are nested in other JAR files) and can switch the behaviour transparently later on...

At least that is how I usually force the language if the customer requires it of me.

Is there a "cleaner" way to do so rather than create a proxy?

Other than changing the browser language? No. Everything else will require to hack something together in Alfresco code / configuration.

If i can ask, how can i override the Accept-Language in nginx? I can't seem to make it work (everything else works, it's just the language change that doesn't)

In particular, when i try to login i get redirected to "<proxy ip>/share/page/dologin" with a message saying:

"Something's wrong with this page...

We may have hit an error or something might have been removed or deleted, so check that the URL is correct.

Alternatively you might not have permission to view the page (it could be on a private site) or there could have been an internal error. Try checking with your Alfresco administrator.

If you're trying to get to your home page and it's no longer available you should change it by clicking your name on the Alfresco toolbar."

and a button to return to the dashboard that results in a redirect to the login screen.

The message is in the language that i set in my nginx proxy so that works, i just can't fgure out how to make the login work (i tried on a clean install of Alfresco so i doubt it's something being moved or deleted, especially because everything works fine if iconnect directly without going through the proxy)

I just tried and the same happens if i input a wrong username/password combination, in addition i checked the nginx log and the POST request to the server when i press the login button returns 500 but i can't understand why since it works perfectly if i don't use te proxy
