Default language

[dcardosods]

The theme I'm using has 3 files in the languages folder , default, fr-FR and zh-Hans.
I need English (default) as my site language. Leaving the language option in _config.yml blank doesn't fallback to default (as I suppose is the expected behavior). iissnan/hexo-theme-next#57 has more details.
In the line lib/theme/index.js#L26 it isn't checked if languages is null before adding it to the array. Maybe the bug is here.

This happened to me as well, both with the default landscape theme as well as the light theme. It used the alphabetically-last language in the theme's languages folder (zh-TW in this case). I had to set language to 'default' explicitly to actually make it use "default".

It should be simple to reproduce. Run hexo init somewhere, run hexo server, open your browser to localhost:4000, and boom, you have Chinese text in the sidebar.

Seems kind of hard to believe this has been unresolved for almost a year.

Agreed, I read in some comment that language's default is en.
This means the theme are incorrect in using default as language name.
Maybe someone can help verify that?

In my case using default landscape theme with en lead to random language being picked up. Changing language to default fixed all issues.

It turns out that it is (and probably was) still behaving "randomly", after adding a post I'm getting index page in second language even though I have in confg:

language:
- en
- cs

I'm getting cs translation on main page (in theme I have copied a default.yml file to en.yml just ot be sure). This bug is quite annoying 😞.

@weqeo set language in hexo _config.yml to zh-cn may solve your issue.

@NoahDragon thanks,i found that this bug only appearanced when i test in localhost,it's just show everything fine when i deploy it to my domain.

I still have this issue using the landscape theme and the main _config.yml language does not seem to influence the language being picked.

the strangest thing is, it's random! I use a gitlab runner on some docker image and for some reason sometimes it renders in french, the first language in my theme other than default. https://vblip.com
