vulkanino is seeking a feature to send invitation emails in a language other than the forum’s default language. They propose a language setting accessible from the home page, allowing users to choose the language of the invitation email. JSey suggests that if language override is enabled, the selector could default to the language presented by the user agent string (browser language). Multiple users, including Johannes_Winter and Christoph_Holtermann, have expressed interest in this feature, highlighting the current limitation of having to switch the entire platform to the desired language to send an invitation email in that language.
I have my Discourse implementation in Italian language. Sometimes I want to invite English speaking people to the forum, but if I send them the invite, they receive an Italian language email. I have then to follow up with an email with step-by-step instructions on where to click to set their interface language to English.
I’d like an option to send the invitation email in English or another language. Or, even better, a language setting on the forum - not hidden in the user preferences - but accessible directly in the home page, something like this:
Plus, if language override in the Discourse instance is enabled, the selector could default to the language presented by the user agent string (browser language).
I’d like that, too. As far as I understand the invitation is being sent in the language of the platform that has to be configured in preferences and there is only one language for the platform and it doesn’t matter which language the user uses. So to send an english invitation when I usually use german I need to switch the whole platform to english.
