RHEVM GUI: Failure to language selection in specific case
Last modified: 2015-09-22 09:09 EDT
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevm-webadmin-portal-3.1.0-32.el6ev How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. The locale setting of Firefox(RHEL6.3) is Japanese. 2. Reload Firefox. 3. Select language from the list on RHEV-M login screen. Actual results: I cannnot change language.(Remain in Japanese) Expected results: I can change selected language from japanese.
when attempting to reproduce it, I managed to replace the language successfully for all languages other than English. When trying to change the language to English (which is the application's default language), the application is being loaded in the language of the browser's default locale (Japanese in your case). Can you please confirm that?

Sure. Language on RHEV Admin Portal seems to depend on the browser's default locale. And so, if there is difference between "browser's default locale" and "language selection on RHEV-M login screen", then there is a case that language selection does not work well. For Example,... Case 1: Default locale of Firefox is Engilish. I can use Japanese on RHEV-M Admin Portal. Case 2: Default locale of Firefox is Japanese. I cannot use English on RHEV-M Admin Portal. But in this case 2, I can use other language (Japanese, French, German, Spanish or Simplified Chinese), but I cannot use English. Is this a Bug or Specification ?

It seems that everything is working fine if the browser's default locale is English (Case 1). However, case 2 is defintiely a bug: regardless of your browser's default locale: - all RHEV-M's supported languages (including English) should be available to you for display. - when you choose "English" in the locale drop-down, the application should be displayed in English, not in any other locale.
The problem was that 'English' was defined as the 'default' locale which is not the case if the default browser locale is another locale like Japanese. I added a specific English locale to the compile step (increasing the permutation by 6!). The patch is available here: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/11047
OK, sf13, FF10.x from japanese gnome env.
