The discussion revolves around a problem with the default locale setting in a Discourse site, specifically with the “suomi” (“fi”) locale. Esko_Piirainen reported that changing the user default locale to “suomi” had no effect and would revert to “English” after reloading the preferences page.
@rizka and Silvanus mentioned that their sites, running different versions of Discourse, did not experience this issue. codinghorror suggested that the problem might be related to a recent change made by fantasticfears regarding site settings being per-locale.
However, Esko_Piirainen later reported that the problem had been fixed, possibly due to a fix made to the hosted site. HAWK pointed out that a similar issue had been fixed earlier and discussed in another thread.
Hi,
Our site used to have default locale set to “suomi” (“fi”).
This has stopped working, and when as an admin I go to forum preferences (admin/site_settings/category/required) and change the user default locale to “suomi” and press save, the value remains but has no effect. After reloading preferences page, the value is again “English”.
We have no such experiences, but we are running the stable branch. Nothing particular going on with the Finnish locale which I upkeep neither. Ping @Silvanus and @probus whose sites run 1.9.0.
Hmm I wonder, is this related to @fantasticfears recent change on site settings being per-locale? cc @sam
Everything is working fine with us. We are currently running v1.9.0.beta2 +101 (yeah I know I’m a bit behind…).
This is bad. Do you have a multi-site installation?
As this is a new change, it won’t affect to you if use a old version.
This morning the problem has been fixed!
I’m not the one in our team who set up the forum or usually administrates it, so I’m unsure of the terms, but we are using a hosted site with a Standard plan. The site tracerts to 64.71.168.214.
Perhaps something was fixed..?
