GregH.00578 (Customer) asked a question.

Clarification needed: Display Language evaluation

From the documentation:

How display language is determined

Existing end users (activated) — Okta evaluates these sources in the following order to determine which supported language is displayed to activated end users in their Okta instance:

  1. End user's Display Language setting. See End users: set up display language.
  2. Cookie that holds the web browser's current language setting. Relevant in a shared-terminal scenario where multiple operators use the same browser. The browser displays in the language that the most-recently authenticated user configured in their Okta End-User Dashboard > <username> > Settings > Display Language assuming they've configured a display language.
  3. Language configured in the browser settings.
  4. Value of the user's locale property.
  5. Org-wide display language is displayed to all users unless overridden by any of the preceding sources.

 

Is this a match & quit type of eval or does it go through all steps and keep the most recent match (with the exception of *5)?

 

IE: user with Display Language set to English, first login so no cookies, French browser, locale not defined.

Do they get French?

 

Thanks

 


  • Hello @GregH.00578 (Customer)​ ,

     

    This will go through 1 through 5, and once it's able to locate the language setting, it stops. 5 is the failsafe in-case 1-4 don't provide language info.

     

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks!
