Changing default browser language

[callum]

I would like to be able to change the default language of my embedded browser.

I am adding an entry to the CefSettings variable I pass to CefInit with something like:

Code: Select all

std::string locale("zh_CN");
cef_string_utf8_to_utf16(locale.c_str(), locale.size(), &settings.locale);


but when I navigate to http://google.com I still see Google in English. Is this what you would expect after changing the locale and is there an additional/different setting I need to change to alter the default browser language?

std::string locale("zh_CN");

The value should be "zh-CN". You should then see Chinese in the right-click context menu and the executing `navigator.language` in the DevTools console will show the same value.

Thanks - I don't have right-click or dev-tools hooked up yet but displaying the value with some JavaScript (http://jsfiddle.net/cajeamx9/) appears to be doing the right thing.

Google.com still appears in English though - is there a setting to change the default language vs the locale?

The equivalent of adding a new language in Chrome settings I guess.

Newer CEF versions support CefSettings.accept_language_list which can be used to configure the Accept-Language HTTP header value.

Understood - doesn't appear to be in the version I'm using right now (branch 2272) but I see the issue here (https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembedded/source/detail?spec=svn2033&r=2033) so I should be able to figure out which branch I need.

Thank you.

Just to close the loop on this, I moved to revision 2357 and modified CefSettings::accept_language_list instead of CefSettings::locale and things worked as I expected - e.g. Using zh-CN makes http://google.com render in Chinese.

Could you post the code to do this? Were you ever able to make it so CEF would use the OS language automatically for locale AND render?
