Panel language is not switching when changing the browser language

The CMS Questions
1

Hey,

I am currently building a new website for a customer who needs to have english and german for all panel labels / texts.
I created a test site.txt with the following content:

title:
  de: Hauptseite
  en: Site

and changed my browser language (firefox) to german (primary language is german) - but only the english or fallback language is used.
Do I need to set other settings? - I enabled languages inside my config file and the website itself is working ( I can change between de and en in the panel and modify my texts accordingly).

Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

I guess you mean a site.yml not site.txt.

But the language used in the Panel for the interface (field labels etc.) depends on the user language setting, not on your browser language.

Hey,

as always, thank you for your great support! I thought based on your linked article that the user language setting was based on the browser language—I wasn’t aware that there is a separate language setting as well.

In case anyone else isn’t aware of this: under “Your Account” → “Settings” (gear icon) → “Change Language”, there is another language switch :blush:
