Language code with locale handling

[giammin]

ckeditor does not handle language code as 'it-IT' or 'en-US', 'en-GB' etc etc

it should fall back to 'it', 'en' or whatever instead it does not recognize these language coeds

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Editor does correctly recognise language based on even if language code is set as 'it-IT', 'en-GB', etc.

E.g. this will work:

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', { language: 'it-IT' } );
// or:
CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1', { language: 'zh-cn' } );

Do I miss something?

[giammin]

are you sure?

in my test both normal editor and inline editor do not change ui language if it is set as 'it-IT' but only if it is set as 'it'

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

• Which browser have you checked?
• How do you set language?
• What's your CKEditor version (number and build - included plugins, languages, etc)?

It would be the best if you could attach a sample (zip package) with your CKEditor package and sample proving the issue.

I'm 100% sure that this setting works on master and latest version of CKEditor (4.1) on Chrome and Firefox.

to reproduce

[giammin]

tested on chrome: last version

ckeditor version 4.1 last version available from there: ​http://ckeditor.com/download i have included the ckbuilder config

i think that problem raises when there are more ckeditor instances

thanks!

Ok. I was able to confirm this issue - you are right that it occurs when there's more than one editor on a page.

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Note that the easy fix is to use short language names, without locale.

Replying to Reinmar:

Yes, thanks i know about this fix.

any news/ETA on this?

[Piotrek Koszuliński]

Nope - none. We're focused on 4.2 right now, but this issue is not considered to be included. It has a simple workaround so it is not a high priority for us now.
