Description

mail ERS:

this brings me to the point that in many cases, the TaxEditor opens in German language (also on my laptop). Only German-speaking people can handle this and I wonder if this is actually still needed (it was a requirement for some – I believe very few - users from Germany (BfN?), but for everybody else, including myself, it is just a source of confusion or not understandable at all. On the other hand, I do not wish to switch my system language from German to English. The German language version should never be installed for our international guests and other users.

mail NaK:
The system default is used for the TaxEditor language and there is also a bug, so that you need to switch the language twice to set it from German to English, and you have to do it for each release, and have to connect first. This was always confusing for our international guests, and I had also asked a while ago whether either English should be the default or that at least the language could be selected when downloading the Editor. The German default bothers me, too and I also do not see any reason why English should not be the default.

During the start the application gets the preference from config.ini, in product configuration properties can be added to the config.ini. I added osgi.nl=en to set the application language to English.

Please review.

Is the associated revision the only one related to this ticket? I ask because I can see there are a couple of more commits related to language handling before and after the given commit.

There is still commented code in PreferenceUtil in checkDefaultLanguage() and getPreferredDefaultLanguage(). Is this still needed?

It generally works. After restart the language stays as selected before. After new installation the language is English. This is all expected.

The only unexpected behavior is that after update the language switches back to English if it was German before. Can this still be changed with not too much effort?

This preference is saved in the config.ini because they need to be available during the start. During update this file is removed. Unfortunately I couldn't find an easy solution for this.
