Add option to set language via GUI

[dreua]

I think a dropdown list in the "General" tab would be a good place for the GUI.

I suppose following other applications with a default option "System language" (i.e. use the environment variables like it is currently the case) would be a good idea.

Please give a thumbs up instead of "me too" or "+1" comments. Issues can be sorted by upvotes.

Why is this continually closed, the comments in the issue inevitably refer back to this feature request??! This seems like a (more or less) trivial feature to implement.

me too. Setting via variable does not work.

Also it may help in client translation

If someone is still checking these - I'd like to reiterate importance of ability to set custom client UI Language, especially in multilingual environments (for both installer and client itself via settings).

@jancborchardt @nimishavijay wdyt?

[nimishavijay]

Sounds great, the placement also makes sense :)
Also agreed that "System language" as a default sounds good, and we could also mention what language "System language - English (US)".

Additionally we could ask this as one of the initial steps during the setup also.

Or
English (US) - System Language
the language name first, then the attribute

info need stale

Quit playing around and admit you don't have the skill to implement a language option in the GUI 🥇
