Overview<\/h2>\n

In cPanel & WHM version 11.32, we introduced a localized login page that allows users to select a locale for their session. Several factors determine the locale that you see when you log in to cPanel, WHM, or Webmail.<\/p>\n

cpsrvd service checks<\/h2>\n

When you log in to the cPanel, WHM, or Webmail interface, the cpsrvd<\/code> service uses the following process to determine which locale to display:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    The cpsrvd<\/code> service checks whether a locale query string parameter exists in the URL. If it does, the browser sets the session_locale<\/code> cookie to the same value.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • For example, the https:\/\/example.com:2083\/login?locale=ru<\/code> URL sets the Russian locale in the cPanel interface.<\/li>\n
    • The session_locale<\/code> cookie overrides the account\u2019s configured locale and is valid for one year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      The cpsrvd<\/code> service checks whether your browser already contains the session_locale<\/code> cookie. If it does, the login interface and the rest of the user\u2019s session uses the specified locale.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      If the URL does not specify a locale query string and the browser does not have a session_locale<\/code> cookie, the cpsrvd<\/code> service checks whether your browser sent an Accept-Language<\/code> header. If it did, the cpsrvd<\/code> service uses the first valid locale that corresponds to the value of the Accept-Language<\/code> header.<\/p>\n

      \n
      Note:<\/div>\n
      \n

      Some browsers don\u2019t allow the Accept-Language<\/code> header.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      If none of the above steps were able to set a language, the login system uses the Server Locale<\/em> setting\u2019s value in WHM\u2019s Tweak Settings<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Tweak Settings<\/em>).<\/p>\n

        \n
      • cPanel & WHM stores this setting in the \/var\/cpanel\/cpanel.config<\/code> file as the service_locale<\/code> variable.<\/li>\n
      • You can customize the language that the system uses to display a customer\u2019s preferred locale in WHM\u2019s Configure Application Locales<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Locales >> Configure Application Locales<\/em>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n

        If your system does not meet any<\/strong> of the above conditions, the login system uses the U.S. English locale (en<\/code>) by default.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
