Description:

Currently, FME Flow does not allow defining a specific language for an FME Flow App. This results in browser auto translation functions also translating user parameter values. In some cases, this can cause confusion, especially when certain words are spelled the same in both languages but have different meanings. In FME Flow Apps, the lang attribute in the <html> tag is always set to 'en', and there is no option to change this value.

Idea:

Incorporate an option to select the default language of the FME Flow App or prevent the automatic translation of parameter values.

Benefits:

This would help maintain the clarity and accuracy of the information in the FME Flow APP, reducing potential misunderstandings.

Not an official reply, but I’ve asked Safe about multi-language Support for Flow Apps. The reply (from pretty high up) was that this will probably never be implemented, as they consider this an advanced requirement and that you’d be better off using the Flow REST API to build your own webapp on top of it.
