Does the Joomla 4 update mechanism support languages?

[shoulders]

Currently when you use the update stream in Joomla 3 there is only one language used for the response. Has Joomla now added in a POST variable to indicated to the update server a users langauge?

If not, they should for later use.

Actually, if you don not choose a language in the plugin, the language is used based on when and how the trigger is fired.
A trigger can be a site visit, by anyone. If so, it is the language in which the site is visited.

You can also set a cron job running a script from the /cli/ folder it then picks default site language I believe.

I am not sure we are on about the same thing.

I am on about:

Code: Select all

<!-- Update Server -->		
	<updateservers>
		<server type="extension" priority="1" name="QWUpdateServer (Component)">https://quantumwarp.com/updates/joomla/qwupdateserver/update.xml</server>
	</updateservers>	
	

and then joomla dds the following POST/GET variable

Code: Select all

language=fr-FR

And then my server would respond in the appropriate language.

Ah right, your own extension update.. but then mandatory for all extensions is english all other languages are additionals.. at least that is when you work with the language strings that is..
So if you have all appropriate langauges available the language desired would be shown..

I have followed the code through for Joomla3 and the cURL request does not send the header

Code: Select all

Accept-Language: 

I will check with Joomla 4 and then raise an issue on github.

cURL wants something like:

CURL -s -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9,nl;q=0.8' ...... and on

But that is behaving as a browser..

exactly

if this was sent with the updaters calls to the XML streams, then my update server can supply the correct language descriptions etc. based on the language tag.
