Not sure why all the forms all default to the USA with no way to change the default.

Please can we have the option to select another country / not have Alabama appear when the country is changed.

 

 

Which forms exactly?

I always see my own (i.e. the user’s) country suggested, may it be in the Calendar, Pages or wherever. 

Calendar & store for example

I have language set to UK. 

Not aware of any other setting.

 

 

It shows the default country based on the user's cpu language.

I always get USA as well. A default setting would be good. 

What does it say for “user language” here for you guys from the UK? http://mybrowserinfo.com/detail.asp

EN_GB? EN_US? 

I get en-gb correctly but even if I put a UK postcode into calendar I'm usually offered a result in the US. The default country is always US. 

Okay. This might be something for the bug tracker or a support ticket then. If it maps DE_DE correctly to Germany, it shouldn’t map EN_GB to USA.

But there is still an error with the autocomplete for addresses using Google Maps. As i tried it's not possible to insert a german address by this way because the house number and the street are the other way around. Looks pretty silly in Germany. 

Frankfurter Str. 218 will shown as 218 Frankfurter Str.

Now, that is clearly a feature request and deserves its own topic in this forum.

EN_GB - didn't realise it was supposed to be automatic.

Is it en_gb or en-gb? For me, in Firefox and Chrome, it's en-gb, which correctly autocompletes the country to United Kingdom. Looking at the code, it needs to have a - rather than an _ for it to work.

I opened a bug, but Brandon said that it is set to en_uk but that is wrong, so a bit confused.

I see the same issue on other ipb installations so know it is not just mine. 

My browser is setting my location as en_gb

Good point en-gb

Baffled as to why it is not working.

Did some more testing.

In Chrome it shows me as en-gb and shows United States in the form

In Firefox it shows me as en-us and shows United States in the form

In IE it shows me as en-gb and shows United Kingdom in the form!  

In Edge it shows me as en-gb and shows United Kingdom in the form!  

So no idea why it should work in IE & Edge, but not in Firefox or Chrome.

Am on BT so shouldn't be an issue.

 

Interesting.  My iPhone gives me en-gb but my iMac gives me en-us when both are connected to my same home router.  Not sure why this would be?

Because your browser sends the string, not your router. Maybe en_US is hardcoded or something like that.

Although even if it was it doesn't explain why en-gb should give different results on different browsers.

It's possible that that site was messing with things - it's certainly changing some things. Can you see what the ac cept-langusge is set to according to http://request.urih.com/

That is showing

In Chrome:   en-US,en;q=0.8,en-GB;q=0.6

In IE & Edge:      en-GB,en;q=0.5

In Firefox:   en-US,en;q=0.5

Which might be the issue if Chrome is showing both - which seems odd.

Yeah - ips4 uses the first item in the list. You should be able to change the primary language in settings.

Primary language set to UK

Remove the English US language from Chrome and Firefox - they will be sent in the order in which they appear in the language settings, if more than one exists. Alternatively, you can re-order them (I know Chrome allows that)

Just tested Waterfox (Firefox derivative) and you can re-order there too.

Perfect!  

Thank you so much.

Mystery solved.

Since the majority of IPS clients speak English, this isn't a surprise. But, I'm sure when you first install IPS that you're given the choice of what language to select for your community. It isn't rocket science. The majority of IPS installs are based in the English language.
