Language settings

The add-on supports the languages German and English. And since it doesn't make sense to depend the language of the template on the language settings of the users, the displayed language is determined in a 2-stage process.

Why is the language such an important topic for templates?

If you work in a team where team members come from different countries and have different mother tongues, usually English is agreed upon as the team language. This inevitably means that all documents - at least in one space - have the same language so that all team members can participate.

In addition, due to data protection regulations, Atlassian no longer transmits the language set in the user profile.

How to set the language for a space?

The add-on first tries to determine the language setting for the enbl.it templates from the space settings. If they are not available, the add-on uses the settings of the Confluence instance (Settings → Languages). This means that all spaces by default adopt the language of the Confluence instance. Only if you want or need to deviate from this, you can set the different language in the space.

How to do this?

To adjust the language of the enbl.it templates in a space, you need space admin permissions. In the settings of the space, you will find the app links (1) and from there, you can go directly to the enbl.it settings. Click on the language link to change the language (2).

IMPORTANT: Existing documents created with the enbl.it templates will not be modified by this change.
