Valentin Valchev commented on FELIX-2267:
-----------------------------------------
I was investigating a possible solution for the problem, and tried to make at
least configurable (CM) locale available.
It seems that the problem is rather complex and would require quite a lot,
really a lot of changes not only to the web console but also to the plugins.
It is quite easy to load the resource files in the configured language, and
generally this will work. However some plugins provide additional localization.
As example:
1. config plugin uses the request locale to obtain meta-type information.
2. services & bundles plugins use request locale to get localized bundle name
3. license & bundes plugins use request locale to sort bundle names in
locale-specific way.
4. bundle plugin gets localized bundle headers, again using the request locale.
This means, that the plugin should be also aware of the configured locale. We
can add new request attribute but we cannot force the plugin to use
request.getAttribute(LOCALE_PARAM)
instead of
request.getLocale();

> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Web Console
> Affects Versions: webconsole-3.0.0
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
>
> Currently the locale is detected by checking the request; I think we should
> improve this:
> - a user should be able to switch the language
> - there should be a possibility to configure a default language - I guess
> there are situations where localization of the web console is simply not
> desired.
> So what about a new configuration value for the web console which defines the
> default language - this is optional.
> The language detection might then go like this:
> - check for a cookie with a language
> - check the user for a configured language (once we have user admin support)
> - if a language is configured for the web console, use this
> - use request locale
