OData language

[jakob_steen-petersen]

Hi

Do we anywhere in the oData Class interface have the language property of the used webbrowser.

i mean - if uger has default language DE in user master, but uses en-EN in the browser, Can i check this anywhere or do i need to build it into all the Entityˋs where i need to fetch data for specific languages?

I.ex i could build a material list and need the text returned based on browser setting.

What is best practice?

Maybe this helps you (https://github.com/SAP/openui5/issues/1137)?

Maybe you check also your supported locals:

"supportedLocales": ["dk", "en"],

Hi Jakob,

OData build on top of HTTP which is why you can use the header accept-language. This question here might also be helpful in case you want to set a default language.

Hi Marius

Thanx - basically it works. BUT: when i set the default language in the Browser it is ok. But i have done a small "trick" in order to provide the user with the posibility to change language for this application only.

Simply by using this code on Button Press (just a switch between DK and EN):

            var sCurrentLocale = sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().getLanguage();
           
            if (sCurrentLocale === "en_EN"){
                sCurrentLocale = "da_DK";
            } else {
                sCurrentLocale = "en_EN";
            }
            sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage(sCurrentLocale);

But when switching in this way it seems like the accept-language is not changed?

Any ideas?
