Set OS Viewer locale through microsite admin #4

Since you can only configure OS Viewer UI language through "lang" url parameter, this should be configurable through microsite admin page or create a language selector module with configurable default.

Hi @skarampatakis,

As you can see in the attached picture, it is already possible to select a microsite's locale through the admin interface. I believe this has been available since last year. Thank you :)

Hi @pierorex
Yes you can define the language, the only language that you will serve. But is this enough?
I mean, we live in a multinational - multilingual world. That means that citizens of a municipality or whatever may be speak a variety of languages.

In Thessaloniki for instance, the vast majority of it's citizens speak Greek, so the admin could set the default to be the Greek Language. But there are parts of it's citizens who cannot speak or read Greek. Or they would need (like or appreciate) to render the UI in their native language. They would prefer Russian, Shqip or whatever.

I am sure you have also some similar (or better) examples on your mind.

So I believe an (optional?) language selector could be of great value for the microsite.
