Could Language for Locations be a setting?

Question

[Edited to clarify: When adding new profiles to WikiTree,] I'd love to set a default language for location settings with the ability to change it at will. In the current WikiTree Challenge, I'm changing the language to German a lot.

Thanks for all you do to make WikiTreers so productive!

Hi!

This would be really useful to me as well if anyone is counting.  Most all profiles I add are Dutch and I'm having to make the language selection change every time.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi Karen and Joke.  This would only be for Add Person pages, right?  Would it make sense to put it on profile edit pages?

Edit: I've added this to the WBE, but I'm not putting it on edit pages, because if the user has set the default language to German and then they open an edit page of an American, for example, and they edit it and save it, the location in the select box will be saved as German (unless they change that before saving it, which they're likely to forget to do).

Yes, Ian, that's exactly right - just for adding new profiles. The link that says "Suggest location names in another language."

I've edited the question above to clarify for those reading it for the first time.

Answer 2

This would really be useful for me as well, since almost all profiles I make are Dutch.

"Change it once and it remains until you change it again". Yes, please!
