I just installed vikunja and wanted to change my settings to come up with "day starts on monday" and the language "german".

While the first setting seems to be persisted into the database the language setting is just saved locally to the browser.

I am thinking about saving the setting in the profile, so this way beside the login mask everything is correct in the application after login on another computer. After a successful login the cookie can be set as well to get the localized login mask on the next visit with the same device.

Right now the user has to make the change on every device.

Alternatively a default language could be helpful.

Markus

The default language is english. But Vikunja also checks what language your browser is set to and uses that if you did not select another language.

We will need to save the language on the server at some point to be able to translate reminder emails and such.

Ah I just tried it with Firefox.

Are there any known issues with Safari? I am stumbling about some strange behaviors while using it. The language is not recognized, the date selector (calendar) seems to have some issues, modals are not working correctly...

Should I report all those things or is safari not supported right now (or is this just on my side?) I tried it on two devices.

Yeah Safari seems to have a few issues every now and then. Won't hurt if you open issues for them, but since I don't own a mac these kinds of issues are hard to reproduce for me. Therefore, low priority.
