'Default Locale' stopped working (again)

hellekin · August 25, 2018, 4:21pm

The Default Locale bug seems to have come back. Latest discourse, new install, I selected “Français” during the wizard setup, and got an English setup. So I went to the Admin settings and changed the default locale setting to ‘Français’ and saved… But I keep having the site in English. I tried with a new session in a private window: it’s English indeed.

Logs says:

An attempt was to change default_locale SiteSetting to fr however it is shadowed so this will be ignored!

Solution

gerhard:

Please take a look at the configuration file for the Discourse Docker container (probably app.yml ) and make sure that DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE is commented out. It should look like this:
# DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: en
You won’t be able to change the default_locale within Discourse when that environment variable is set.

Hmm who should this be assigned to @sam?

@gerhard can you add to your list to investigate when you work on the TOS/FAQ stuff?

gerhard · September 5, 2018, 12:53pm

Could you please post the content of that log entry? Also, did you set DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE in app.yml or is it still set to the default (# DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: en)?

Oh, that’s a bug in the wizard’s UI. Pressing Enter while selecting the locale forwards you to the next step without actually changing the locale. I’m going to fix this.

hellekin · September 5, 2018, 3:18pm

Be careful though that changing the locale through the admin interface fails as well!

gerhard · September 5, 2018, 3:24pm

I can’t reproduce that. Could you post the log entry please?
Are you using any non-official plugins?

hellekin · September 5, 2018, 3:32pm

Isn’t the link to the log available to you?

https://champs.lepiceriesansfin.org/logs/show/6ecaa9300a8ba60f634652f702149448

Yes there are some custom plugins, notably some by Angus. I’ll post the full list when I get back home…

hellekin · September 5, 2018, 3:47pm

Here is the full list:

hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/discourse-assign.git

#          - git clone https://github.com/lidel/discourse-openstreetmap.git

P.S.: I just tested again from the admin interface. The locale appears to be changed, but reloading the page puts it back to English.

That link only works for admins.

Please take a look at the configuration file for the Discourse Docker container (probably app.yml) and make sure that DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE is commented out. It should look like this:

# DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: en

You won’t be able to change the default_locale within Discourse when that environment variable is set.

@sam I don’t think this is a bug, but it might be a good idea to disable changing the locale the UI (wizard and site settings) if it is shadowed. A hint why it is disabled would be great too. What do you think?

Sounds right to me should be removed from the UI

Thank you so much @gerhard, your answer was point blank!

So in order to run multiple instances in different languages, DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE must be commented out in /var/discourse/containers/app.yml, or in my case, using multiple containers: /var/discourse/containers/web.yml.

(I guess this should move to support and be closed.)
