Menu Item "Options" not visible

User Support Writer

Hi,

We are trying Collabora Online as a text editor for a web application. The problem I have is the I cannot see the Options menu item anywhere. It should be in the “Tools” menu, but it is not there, nor can I make it visible using postMessage. I also checked the I am not in a “mobile configuration” as the screen is large enough.

Hi darshan,

Thanks for your answer

This is what I get from Help > About

COOLWSD version: 25.04.2.2(git hash: 636e10a2b1 (E))
LOKit version: Collabora Office 25.04.2.2(git hash: b678ed7469)
Served by: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Server ID: bcdea1d0
WOPI host:

But now I think the “Options” menu item might exist only for the Office (desktop) version…

In this case, I understand that there is the posibility of using the “adminIntegratorSettings.html” page to do this, but when I try to upload for example a “darktheme” json file, I get a 400 response.

I do not know whether I am trying something correct or whether it does not make sense at all…

Actually what I want to acheive is having a second language (basque) apart from spanish:

1. Check if Basque is already included

Collabora Online ships with many translations by default — Basque (eu) is one of them.
You don’t need to upload a JSON file or theme to enable it.

default="de_DE en_GB en_US es_ES fr_FR it nl pt_BR pt_PT ru"

2. How Collabora Online picks the UI language

  • It reads the browser’s Accept-Language header.
  • Or the integrator (your web app) can explicitly pass a language code to Collabora Online.

You can’t change the UI language via the “Options” menu (because it doesn’t exist in Online).
Instead, you force it using one of these approaches:

3. Ways to force a specific language

Option A: Browser language setting

  • In your browser settings, set the preferred language to Basque (eu) above Spanish/English.
  • Reload Collabora Online.
  • The UI should appear in Basque immediately.

Option B: WOPI lang parameter
If you control the integration URL you can append lang=eu when opening a document:

https://<your-collabora-server>/loleaflet/<...>/loleaflet.html?WOPISrc=<encoded WOPI src>&lang=eu

This overrides the browser setting for that session.

Thanks darshan,

I solved the UI language with the lang paramter, but the language for the revision is still in spanish.

Is it possible that the dictionnaries are not installed on the server? How could I check it?
