There is already a PR requested some 4 months back addressing some of these issues. With that patch one has to add only key mappings to support new languages.

I've recently experimented with different approaches to add languages to the consoleproxy in a more modular way than the very hardcoded ajaxviewer / ajaxkeys / index.jsp I'ld like to ask if someone already did some work in that direction, so I could join in? Alternatively, I'll start on a somewhat bigger rewrite of that code. My thoughts so far are: - there's no sql based information which languages are supported - it's in consoleproxy's index.jsp (very hardcoded for the dropdown) additionally in ajaxkeys.js partly in array structures, partly in simple suffixed variables/constants. ajaxviewer has a very own wording, also in simple suffixed globals/constants. - also the code for provisioning vms shows a completely independend language selector. at least for 4.6.x there are different informations (french in CP vs traditional chinese in the provisioning dialouge ...) - default language can't be altered except via sql statements. I'ld like to start with a complete rewrite of ajaxviewer.js and keyboard-definitions for different languages which incorporate into ajaxviewer if present. I'ld also move from static ul/dl languageselector in index.jsp to a 100% jquery Set, which would build dynamically for available languages. As a sidekick - and If there's some consens on how to store available languages in a more common way - I'ld like to add a language property to instance-related api-calls (I didn't dug too deep, maybe there's already something in place). The UI 'ld definitely need some rewrite to get an up-to-date dropdown for available languages. This'll be my personal "winter is boring"-project, so I'll target a PoC in about two month or so. Oh, if anyone already gathered and documented keycodes for different keyboards? :) I'ld aprpeciate any suggestions! cheers, Stephan
