We currently have a self-hosted community version of Metabase running, which is also embedded into our web application for giving our customers Business reports and metrics. We are currently exploring other vendors due to the lack of Arabic support within Metabase.
After some further research, I can see that Metabase is linked via POEditor for Internationalization. If my company helps with the contribution to bringing Arabic to 100%, how long would it take to get it into a new release?
Also, we wanted to know if languages could be toggled within an Embedded application via an API dynamically, that is on a user level. If this is not available in the Community version, is it available in the Pro or Enterprise version?
You can change UI language by adding ?locale=en (en being the language you want) to the end of your embedding URLs.
And it doesn't automatically provide full translation of all object names: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/9508 - upvote by clicking on the first post
Hello there, a bit late to the party but I just tried the ?locale=en parameter (specifically with cs for Czech and de for German) and I don't believe this works. Can you please assist?
For one thing, the parameter is nowhere to be found in the official documentation for static embeds.
Thank you for the official confirmation! Do I understand correctly that the static embeds only ever show the English UI strings and there is no way to change this to any other language?
