Standard Checkout Language Setting

Standard workflow [1] JavaScript solution, hosted by Blackbaud does not seem to accept a language of choice in order to show a French form as an example.

It seems that the solution relies on user setting the whole browser Language in Chrome > Settings or Firefox > Options , and such.


Is there a documented setting I have missed that can be passed to the Javascript bbCheckout functions or an undocumented workaround to pass a Accept-Language header ?


Thanks,

    Hi Arek - thank you for your question.


    Currently, Blackbaud Checkout uses the browser locale settings to determine what localization to present in the UI, which puts the language preference at the user level. We don’t have a workaround to override the user’s browser setting. 


    We're always interested in hearing this type of feedback - can you share anything more about your need for this option?


    Regards,

    Mina

    Hi,


    User's are usually able to select a language of their choice if a website has regulatory requirements to show both English and French.

    This is the case in Canada and normal in various regulatory environments.


    The Standard Checkout JSON object does not allow us to pass a local of choice. Meaning, it should allow one of en-CA, fr-CA, en, fr and so on.

    The standard HTTP header Accept-Language format documented here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Accept-Language


    Can the IFrame Standard Checkout be updated to support this feature please ?
