Hey there,

I´m displaying a website with the fullscreen browser package.  
The website is available in english and german, but is beeing displayed in english.  
I suspect the locale beeing not set correct.  
But I´m having trouble setting the locale of the PI since there is no raspi -config.

Any advise?

Right now I guess the browser takes the default Accept-Language setting, which is probably en-US or similar. I’ll have a look to see how that might be configured. Stay tuned.

[here](https://community.info-beamer.com/t/fullscreen-browser-with-custom-headers/1066) is a thread with a fork of the browser package that can send custom headers to websites.

you could try to override the “Accept-Language” header with something like “de-DE,de;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7”

The browser package has been updated to include an option to specify the preferred language. Within your [list of packages](https://info-beamer.com/packages), click the dropdown next to the browser package and select “Check for updates”. This will update to the latest release. In a browser setup’s configuration there is now the new option to select a language.

If a language is missing, let me know.
