Is there a way to force a specific language in Geospatial Portal? By default, Portal uses the language of the browser.
Answer
There's no such functionallity out of the box in Portal but this can be solved with a small customization.
Administrator must modify all ASPX files that are expected to be used by users, adding this code just after the <head> element:
<head runat="server">
<script runat="server" language="C#">
protected new void InitializeCulture()
{
if (Request.Cookies["lngCode"] != null && Request.Cookies["lngCode"].Value != null && Request.Cookies["lngCode"].Value != "")
{
// either keep the language manually selected by user (saved in a cookie)
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Request.Cookies["lngCode"].Value);
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo(Request.Cookies["lngCode"].Value);
}
else
{
// or use default language
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("da-DK");
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("da-DK");
}
}
</script>
Example above will force usage of Danish language but still will take into consideration user selected language.
The language selection is held in a web browser cookie.
