The problem

When the the flag "translation_default" is set to german ("de") the language in the kiosk defaults to english.
Any other default language isnt applied either.

Both changes in the compose.yaml or the the config.json yield the same result.

What version of UniFi Voucher Site has the issue?

latest

What was the last working version of UniFi Voucher Site?

No response

What type of installation are you running?

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Hi @struppthat,

Technically this was not really a bug. See the TRANSLATION_DEFAULT option would select the default language within the admin ui elements (Email & Print Dialogs). It was never intended to pre-select a user language within the kiosk (Since this is a user preference).

I do see that this could be confusing so I created a workaround and version 8.5.0 now redirects the user to the set TRANSLATION_DEFAULT if no language has been selected yet.

Kind regards,
Glenn de Haan
