Hi,

we have to implement a third party webpage inside our powerbuilder application and we're using the webbrowser control for it. 

When opening the page with an external browser the webpage is in german language. If we open the same url inside the pb app, the webpage is in english language.

i looked into it and tried something in javascript

navigator.language in external browser is 'de-DE' and when using the webbrowser control it is 'en-US'.

Is there a way to change it to 'de-DE' ?

Regards 

Stefan.

I also tried to call "about:config" 

Is there a way to change the "--lang" paramater in the commandline?

Hi,

i tried it with the following page :

https://manytools.org/http-html-text/browser-language/

 

With Chrome (104.0.5112.81) i get the following:

Your browser's Accept-Language header:
de-DE,de;q=0.9,en-DE;q=0.8,en;q=0.7,en-US;q=0.6

Same Page with the webbrowser control of Powerbuilder 2021 (Build 1509) i get :

Your browser's Accept-Language header:
en-US,en;q=0.9

Regards

Stefan

Hi, Stefan -

What version/release/build of PB are you using?

Using PB 2019 R3 Build 2703, I created a test window that contains a web browser control and a default URL to a German-language web page I found:

   https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/lang

and it displays the same in the web browser control as it does in the Chrome browser.

Does the web page you are needing to display specify the language in the <html> tag, as the above web page does?

Best regards, John
