Language Configuration¶
Default language¶
In normal cases Nextcloud will automatically detect the language of the Web-GUI.
If this does not work properly or you want to make sure that Nextcloud always
starts with a given language, you can set a default_language parameter in the
config/config.php.
Note
The default_language paramenter is only used, when the browser does not send any language, and the user hasn’t configured own language preferences.
<?php
"default_language" => "en",
Force language¶
If you want to force a specific language, users will no longer be able to change
their language in the personal settings. You can set a force_language parameter
in the config/config.php.
<?php
"force_language" => "en",
If users shall be unable to change their language, but users have different languages,
this value can be set to true instead of a language code.
Note
Please check Transifex language codes for the list of valid language codes.
