Localization Issue: Manual language selection should override Browser AutoDetect
-
I'm encountering a localization inconsistency in the NetXMS Web UI (Docker-based deployment).
Currently, even after explicitly selecting English in the user settings, several parts of the interface (menus and specific strings) continue to be displayed in Portuguese (Brazil), which is my browser's default locale.
It seems that the "Auto-Detect" logic—which is great as a default for new sessions—is still taking precedence over the manually selected language in the user profile.
The expected behavior should be:
- Default: Auto-detect based on Browser Locale (Accept-Language header).
- Override: If a user manually selects a language (e.g., English), this choice must take absolute priority, and no fallback to the browser locale should occur for any UI element.
What I've tried so far:
- Forcefully selecting "English" in settings.
- Logging off (user) and restarting the "netxms-web" container.
- Testing in Incognito mode (where it sometimes works, confirming the browser locale influence).
Environment:
- NetXMS Version: 6.1.1
- Platform: Docker / Web UI
- Client Browser: Chrome/Edge (Locale: pt-BR)
Thanks for your help!

Can you show a screenshot to understand what exactly is in which language?
