The UI language should be an option the user can select

[smolinari]

What problem does this feature solve?

Currently (at least I couldn't find an option to change it), the language is set automatically. I live in Germany, but I'd much rather see the UI in English. I've gone up and down the docs, but couldn't find any way to change the language.

Thanks for taking this in consideration in advance.

What does the proposed API look like?

Not sure about the API, but the selection could be next to the button to change to the dark mode.

just wanted to open the same issue. No one translates programming terms like scripts or dependencies here so the UI uses terms we're not even familiar with 😅 . I would also like to change the language into english.
(I'm also from Germany)

@Akryum is that a right moment to pick this feature for implementation? or I need to create a separate issue for this?

[Akryum]

No, I need to implement the settings page first.

[smolinari]

@Akryum - is there currently any way to work around the language being automatically set? Something we could hack into the CTI code? 😄

Would be awesome if this could be added. I don't understand half of these "Norwegian" terms.

[reneolivo]

Yes, in my case it has a mix of Spanish/English.... it's confusing. "Ejecutar Tarea" next to "Go To Task"....

[alaevka]

Plus one. In russian it looks not good

I just can not believe this, please make it happen, I am pretty sure it can not be so dificult to add a command line option to enforce english ui. hardly anybody make software development in their mother language outside english.

There doesn't need to be.

It's an undocumented, but known best practice that developers should program in English if they can, simply because not doing so excludes a ton of potential from the project both in uptake and in available contributors. For closed source, maybe it's not so important, but for open source it surely is.

And, it is also a known best practice for any program/ software to allow its users to choose what language they want to use in the application. Forcing a language on them is a no-go. It's ok to offer a certain language as a "first guess" for the user, but once the user is in, she should be offered the choice.

Even if the translation was consistent and maybe even good, I still always opt for english.

Especially for newcomers like me it's really frustrating when asking for help, like in #need-help channel on the discord server, without knowing how everybody else is seeing these labels.

Transitioning from good old jQuery into this strange world of command line, node, npm, webpack, es6, build processes etc. is confusing enough. Please stop making it even harder and let us use the GUI in english!

Came here by looking for a setting to see the vue ui in English.
While I am in Germany as well, my computer runs US-English Win10, my browsers are in English, heck, every single program installed is English, yet vue ui forces me to look at German translations of things that are NEVER EVER translated by German-speaking programmers. Like all above said, there needs to be an option somewhere, and easily accessible, and make English the default and let users hunt this down if they do not want English.
