I think the problem here is, that my browser language does not match my native language. I use an English OS and browser setting, but I still may want to download a German enmpty edition. I think the browser settings can be a starting point and it may fit for 80% of the users, but there needs to be a selector. "Smart" software can make a suggestion based on some heuristics, but the final decision has to made by the user. |
Thanks @Leilei332 those are good improvements. The approach still rests on the accuracy of the users browser language setting. It would be useful to have a better idea of how many users like @pmario have their browser language not set to their native language. I would guess it would be a small minority of <10%, but I'd prefer to have some data. |
@Jermolene ... I think defaulting the selection to the browser defaults at startup is OK. Even for users like me. I do have some custom language settings for a reason. So I do expect inconsistent behaviour, depending on the program I start. Eg: My office software is German. The OS and browser is set to English. @Leilei332 -- If en-GB is selected there should also be some text eg: "English (British) is the default setting here. So click the "Download" button above. Or something similar. ![]() May be we should also link to the Full Edition tiddler, that should provide some more info about all possible languages. |
