Hi Team,

We would like to implement website using Appian which is having Multilanguage capabilities. 

  1. The language selection should be defined by browser language.
  2. Additional languages should be configurable by additional translation files and will be added based on the utilization of the application.

Currently there is something know as profile language which we are aware of which changes the Appian language 

Can anyone please suggest any pointers.

Regards

Bihitak

For #2, this has come up in past discussions. The usual way is to use the Load Resource Bundle plugin.

For #1, you won't be able to do what you've described. There's no way to capture any of the HTTP headers in a SAIL interface. Moreover, there's no browser to speak of when users are using one of the mobile apps. You could try to experiment with a servlet plugin (which I'm still not sure how that would work on the mobile apps), but your best bet is probably to just have users configure their languages in their Appian user profiles.
