How do I translate app using Jira Connect?

[tomxi]

I am creating an app using Jira Connect and I can't seem to find a way to do i18n.

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/internationalization/ - these page clearly states I need to use context parameters, but the one for locale is deprecated because of GDPR.

Is there any way to do this?

This is currently an issue for all App developer.

Two ways to solve this are,

• Have a configure for user to set locale, or
• Fallback to old browser/http header way to determine locale.

Something like this in JS

const getNavigatorLanguage = () => (navigator.languages && navigator.languages.length) ? navigator.languages[0] : navigator.userLanguage || navigator.language || navigator.browserLanguage || 'en';
