Different Languages lead to unsynced behaviour!

[goldmar]

Hello,

I've already posted this in the bugtracker but since there are more people reading this forum, I'll also post it here:

We've experienced some very weird behaviour of Alfresco Share: when our users have different languages set up  some content gets out of sync - we could reproduce this for Site descriptions and for data lists. Especially for data lists this is very unfortunate and creates lots of confusion. Has anybody else encountered this problem as well?

Regards,
Mark

Does anybody know how I can disable language detection in Share? I've already tried to remove all the language properties files; but it did not help: The effect was that the user interface stayed in English but the multi language fields (site description, datalists) still displayed different values depending on the user's browser locale setting.

I think the easiest solution would be to stop Alfresco Share from detecting the browser locale and instead set it to en_US or something like that. However, even after some research I could not find the place where Share detects the locale… any ideas?

Okay, I've solved the problem now by changing the HTTP header in Apache:

        <Location "/share">
            RequestHeader set Accept-Language "en"
        </Location>‍‍‍

Not the prettiest solution but it works…

We're having the same problem with 3.4.d (community).

Is this somehow resolved in newer version/s or somehow fixable other way than forcing language on tomcat?

It is still working the same way, I've written about it here
