Multi Language - Default and Possibility to Switch / Variables

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a solution to identify the users language (system or browser language) while loading, use the information to default a variable. This variable should trigger the language of the app. Moreover, I would like to have a possibility to change the default language via a button or selection.

I have installed the climber selection bar, which I think is a good option to change languages; moreover, there is an initial selection option. Neverthless, at the moment it is not working that the variable from the selection bar is triggering the switch of languages. In the backend I have a translation table with an index and the translations. The setup works with a language selection field and the code (=if(SelectedLanguage=' ','Subsidiary',Only({<Index={3}>} Phrase))), but I'm struggeling with the variable instead of the selection.

Any ideas/feedback is highly appreciated!

Best,

Philipp

hello,

qliksense server cannot read information of the user browser such as it's language, what you can do, is maybe create a repositry of your users and assign them a default language to display app:

load * inline [

user,language

user1 ,en

user2,fr

user3,en];

 

you may also get this repositry automatically from active directory, this supposes that data quality in AD is good...

 

please don't forget to accept reponse if it's ok for you.

regards,

Hello,

 

THank you for the reply.

I use Qlik SAAS not qlik sense.

Is there a specific way to do this (maybe with Entitlement Analyzer to get the country code by user).

Because regarding users the IDP for each account is the mail address (not azure nor active directory).

Thank you
