Per-user language setting on server

bangclue · 06-19-2020, 01:13 PM

Hi,
I have a server that I'm starting to use for an extended family member who doesn't speak English. I'd like to have the server show him his language (in the search criteria page, for example) while remaining English for the rest of the users. Is this possible?

Consider making a VL for that language. That user gets the VL

No, I'm afraid the server UI can be in only a single language., the same language as used for the calibre UI

Sorry, @theducks, I am not talking about the book content but the UI.
Thanks, KG.

Hm, had another thought:
This is a server running without a UI. Is it possible to run two read-only servers against the same library simultaneously?

No I'm afraid not, unless you make two copies of the library and run two separate servers under different user accounts.

I saw Kovids answer and went

SERVER Language, not book

Sorry

I guess I will have to divide the books into two libraries then. Not ideal but should be doable. Thanks KG.
