NetBox Version
v4.0.5

Python Version
3.10

I see the same behavior with the language "German". But a little different.

  1. Changed language to "english" in user profile.
  2. All menus are changing to english correctly
  3. Logout and login again in netbox
  4. Language remains in the "English" setting.

However, the language does not reset when I "log out" and "log in" in my Case. After a period of time unknown to me, the language changes automatically back to "German". And then I have the same behaviour like bone6000:

All menus are in german but in profile configuration language "english" is selected

Thanks for reporting a problem you're experiencing with NetBox.

In an attempt to reproduce this issue, I set up the following systems:

  • A NetBox 4.0.5 VM installed on an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS cloud-init image per the official docs install instructions; this is my standard lab VM in a Proxmox VE cluster.
  • A desktop VM installed with Ubuntu 24.04 from the desktop live image, with GUI installation done to disk (controlled via VNC) and switched to Spanish at the first opportunity during installation. I used Firefox as the browser.

The server looks like this:

ubuntu@nb405-repro-16512:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
ubuntu@nb405-repro-16512:~$ echo $LANG
C.UTF-8

And the desktop looks like this:

jeffg@el-jefe-u2404-es:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=24.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=noble
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 24.04 LTS"
jeffg@el-jefe-u2404-es:~$ echo $LANG
es_ES.UTF-8

As the screen recording below shows, I did not manage to reproduce the problem as described using this setup.

Can you please provide the equivalent details about your desktop and server systems? It seems plausible that the C locale on my server side might be responsible for US English being the default language that gets rendered. If your server side is set to an es locale, perhaps that's leading to Spanish being the default rendered language.

I can reproduce this following these steps:

  1. Log in as a user with no preferred language. The UI shows English (for me, at least).
  2. Set your preferred language to Spanish and confirm that the UI is now in Spanish.
  3. Open a new private browser window and log in as the same user.
  4. The UI should be in Spanish, per the user's preference, but I see it in English. The user's preference page shows Spanish as the preferred language.
