forced localization

SPNIOrganization — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 12:41:21 GMT

Hi,

I'm using the developers edition 2.3.

Is there a way to force the app to be in a specific locale setting instead of defining the locale setting by the browser?

I know that I can do that using URL parameters, but I'm looking for a way to insert the parameter inside the code without changing the URL .

Thanks,

Dikla.

Dilka,

I the init.js find the setLocale function and make this change (line 26):

  function setLocale(){
    if(window.queryObject.locale){
      dojoConfig.locale = window.queryObject.locale.toLowerCase();
      window._setRTL(dojoConfig.locale);
      return;
    }

    if(allCookies.esri_auth){
      /*jshint -W061 */
      var userObj = eval('(' + unescape(allCookies.esri_auth) + ')');
      if(userObj.culture){
        dojoConfig.locale = userObj.culture;
      }
    }

    if(window.queryObject.mode){
      if(allCookies.wab_locale){
        dojoConfig.locale = allCookies.wab_locale;
      }
    }else{
      if(allCookies.wab_app_locale){
        dojoConfig.locale = allCookies.wab_app_locale;
      }
    }

    dojoConfig.locale = "he";
    if(!dojoConfig.locale){
      dojoConfig.locale = navigator.language ? navigator.language : navigator.userLanguage;
    }

    dojoConfig.locale = dojoConfig.locale.toLowerCase();
    window._setRTL(dojoConfig.locale);
  }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
