Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ciur/papermerge/issues/320

Originally assigned to: @ciur on GitHub.

Description
When changing the LANGUAGE_CODE to "de" in a config file that is run with the docker image eugenci/papermerge:2.0.0.rc38, the UI languages does not change.

I also mounted the config file from the docker folder (docker/2.0/config/papermerge.config.py) into the volume directly and verified that the LANGUAGE_CODE is set by running docker exec -it papermerge_app /bin/bash and then cat papermerge.config.py in the container.

In both cases (with and without the mounted config file) the UI language does not change.

When using the 1.5 docker-compose setup, changing the language in the file docker/1.5/config/papermerge.config.py, it changes the UI language as expected.

Expected
The UI language should change to german.

Actual
The UI language stays english.

Info:

Docker version 19.03.14, build 5eb3275d40
docker-compose version 1.25.3, build d4d1b42b
Browser: Firefox
Papermerge Version 2.0.0 rc38

@ciur commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2021):

hm, I double checked it, and it works i.e. LANGUAGE_CODE='de' in papermerge.conf.py file, user interface language changes to german.
The problem is that many elements are not localized e.g. instead of Herunderladen is "Download". But Inbox is correctly set to "Posteingang", "sign out" is "Abmelden":

@tobire, can you please confirm that it is an issue of "text localization" i.e. many elements are not correctly translated?

For me it's working if i set it in settings.py but not in papermerge.conf.py. Using latest lsio docker image. For me LANGUAGE_FROM_AGENT = True doesn't work in both.

I'm new to the Project so i'm not Sure on all the different config Files yet. I added the LANGUAGE_CODE Line in docker/2.0/config/papermerge.config.py and that did Not Change the UI after starting with docker-compose.
The Same but in the docker/1.5/... Folder worked fine.

I did Not find the papermerge.conf.py File anywhere while Testing this, so I can't say anything about that.

However it could also be that I edited the wrong File.

I just tried out the linuxserver.io image (also with docker-compose) and changing the language in the mounted config file there works fine.
So it might be just that I didn't find the right file to edit using the described setup.

@ciur I'll leave this issue open for now. If you can't reproduce my original problem, feel free to close it though.
If it is indeed a problem with the docker files or setup, there might be the need to describe that process a bit more to allow people to edit the right files in their setup :)
