Hello everyone,
Is anyone able to change its Language and Locale in their eCloud account?
The form to change that is at https://ecloud.global/settings/user
Mine is locked at Language= English (US) and Locale= English (United States), which must be the server default for new accounts.
The drop downs are there to allow me to select a different Language and Locale, but changes are never registered. On my own Nextcloud instance, changes done by selecting a different language or Locale via these drop downs get registered automatically (after asking me to confirm my password if I have been logged in for a long time).
If no user manages to change Language and Locale, it could be that the default are locked on the ecloud.global Nextcloud server in config/config.php with something like:
‘force_language’ => ‘en_US’,
‘force_locale’ => ‘en_US’,
(see https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/18/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#user-experience)
This is particularly problematic not to be able to change Locale as it can cause great confusion with date-time formats, especially when en_US shows you date in mm/dd/yyyy format while many users expect them to be in dd/mm/yyyy format.
Cheers
