How to change the language in Qlik Sense Hub using the URL

The language in Qlik Sense is typically managed through the browser's language settings.
However, you can change Qlik Sense Hub's language without altering the browser settings.
Different methods are used depending on your version of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
The Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC) language cannot be changed using this method.
Environment
Resolution
- Browse to the Hub for Qlik Sense, https://server/hub or http://localhost:4848/hub
- To switch to a different language by appending a new language:
- For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2024 and later
In the Qlik Sense app: Add ?lang=<code>
Example: https://server/sense/app/APPID/overview?lang=it
In the Qlik Sense hub: Add /language/<code>
Example: https://server/hub/my/work/language/it - For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2024 and earlier
In the Qlik Sense app: Add /language/<code>
Example: https://server/hub/my/work/language/it
In the Qlik Sense hub: Add /language/<code>
Example: https://server/hub/my/work/language/it
- For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2024 and later

Hello @Bjorn_Wedbratt,
thanks for sharing. Is it also possible to read the language parameter from URL and store it in variable?

Hi @Daniel_G ,
I'm sorry, but to my knowledge there is no built-in function to retrieve the URL of the opened document (e.g : https://myserver/app/<guid>/overview).
The language added to the hub URL (/language/it) is however passed when opening an app from the hub, making sure the app is opened in the same language.

Hello @Bjorn_Wedbratt , thx 4 your fast reply. But how can we ensure that the app also opens with the same language? That's why I want to read this URL parameter and set it into a variable. Is there any other way to ensure it?

@Daniel_G If I understand you correctly, you also want the content within the app to reflect the language set in the URL? So, let's say you open using /language/it you want to pass "it" into a variable and change the layout of the app based on the value being passed? If that's the case, I'm sorry to say I don't know.
You could open a new thread in the Qlik Sense App Dev forum to see if anyone in the community can give some tips. It's an interesting case, but out of my expertise, sorry. 😞

Hello @Bjorn_Wedbratt ,
that's exactly what I want. I already opened a new thread in dev forum, but it seems that no one knows it / it is not possible:
- https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Sense/Read-language-parameter-in-Qlik-app/m-p/1842912#M192...
I also suggested an idea to set url parameters into a variable as well like you can do it for fields:

Neverthelessthanks for your support and fast reply 🙂
