philman84 3 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Hey guys, I haven't changed any settings in months. Real odd one here. Opened up the emby dashboard after about a week and the whole thing is in chinese, I have checked the language settings and they are in english. To clarify, i would prefer english Is this an Emby problem or a windows language issue? nothing else in windows displays the same problem.
Luke 42079 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 Interesting. does it happen in other browsers. if you right click, view source, what does the first line say with the opening
philman84 3 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 Hi Luke, Yes it was the same in chrome, Firefox and IE. Even using the Emby iPhone app and looking at your dashboard had the same results. I'm working now, but I'll have a chance to look at the HTML in about 4 Hours.
philman84 3 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 Luke, Here is the top line in Emby <html data-culture="en-GB" lang="en" class="preload"> No idea whats going on.

Happy2Play 9780 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 When did this start showing wrong language? Does toggling to a different Preferred display language work?
philman84 3 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) I don't know exactly when it started happening. It would have to be during the last week at least. No toggling the preferred language does not do anything unfortunately. Could it be something viral that could have infected my server and changed a windows setting or something like that. What relationships does the text affected have with anything inside or outside of emby? Edited September 21, 2016 by philman84
philman84 3 Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 Ok traced it back a little further, language problem seems to be tied up with profiles. when I logged out of my admin profile into another profile, the chinese language problem went away. Logged back into my main admin profile, problem was back again. Thoughts?

Just a thought. 1

Just a thought. Agree, that would be the easy thing to do, ill probably just do that to get by. But if you always find a work around for a problem and never report it or fix it, then this great software platform we use won't improve Edit : New profile and deleting troublesome one does solve the problem.

Happy2Play 9780 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Does your system have more than one preferred language? Control Panel\Clock, Language, and Region\Language

Glad to hear you have a fix in place. Possibly one of those "one-off" type of issues.
Happy2Play 9780 Posted September 21, 2016 Posted September 21, 2016 Did you recently get the Windows 10 Anniversary update? Not like Windows hasn't corrupted user profiles before though. 1
Tremas 199 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Unfortunately, I experienced the exact same issue. For me, it occurred sometime between September 27, and the 29th. I was using the web client to listen to music at work on the 27th, and most everything was in Simplified Chinese late on the 28th. I saw this thread on the 29th and pulled my logs which I've attached below (they were big enough that I had to zip them, sorry). Just like philman84, I didn't have any luck with the display language. I used the workaround mentioned above (creating a new Admin User) and it did resolve the issue. Another thing that is worth noting is that while the web client gave me Chinese, the Roku client was displaying in English. Hope this helps find the problem.

Can you browse to this folder C:\Users\Aaron\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\System\dashboard-ui\strings Then check the language file for your configured language. Does it have chinese contents?
Tremas 199 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Thanks, Luke. I will check when I get home from work.
Tremas 199 Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Ouch, I just realized that having created a new Admin account and deleting the old one I just lost all of my playlists, ratings, and favorites. Wasn't thinking things through I guess.
Tremas 199 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Hmm.. Looks normal to me. The modified date on all files in this directory is 9/17/2016, so it doesn't look like any of them were changed during the time period in which the problem happened. Sorry it's not more helpful. en-US.zip
Luke 42079 Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 If you change the language setting to something else, does it remain in Chinese?
Tremas 199 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 Unfortunately, I've already deleted the user account that was displaying the problem. If I remember correctly, when I tried to change the language before I deleted the user, it had no effect. It would stay Chinese no matter what I selected. It was very difficult trying to find the option to change the language when all of the menus were in Chinese, so I'm not 100% sure I was doing it correctly. Sorry. I shouldn't have been so quick to delete the account, but I was in a hurry to resolve the issue because I wanted to use the system at a party this weekend. I certainly didn't think it through.
