Can not localize Collabora Code

Hey @TurabG, thanks for the questions + welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:

Which language are you using?

I explained how to change the UI to “Portuguese (Brazilian)” in this post:

At the end of your URL, you have to stick:

  • &lang=pt-BR

where pt-BR is whatever UI language you are trying to use.


On Default UI… see answer earlier in that same thread too:


Did you see the Collabora Online SDK:

Method #1: Docker Environment Variable

At startup, you can pass your docker an environment variable:

  • dictionaries

Method #2: coolwsd.xml File

The list of languages + how to expand them is also described in the Collabora Online SDK:

If you look inside the file:

  • coolwsd.xml

you should see a big list of:

<allowed_languages desc="List of supported languages of Writing Aids (spell checker, grammar checker, thesaurus, hyphenation) on this instance. Allowing too many has negative effect on startup performance." default="de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru">de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru</allowed_languages>

You can adjust those languages as needed.
