Professional multilingual experience with automatic Jellyfin integration


๐ŸŽฏ Language Auto-Detection

The Jellyfin AI Upscaler Plugin automatically detects and follows your Jellyfin language settings. No manual configuration needed!

How Auto-Detection Works:

  1. Jellyfin Language Check: Plugin reads document.documentElement.lang
  2. Browser Fallback: Uses navigator.language if Jellyfin language unavailable
  3. Default Fallback: English if no supported language detected
  4. Real-Time Updates: Changes immediately when you change Jellyfin language
// Auto-detection code
detectJellyfinLanguage() {
    const jellyfinLang = document.documentElement.lang || 
                        navigator.language.substring(0, 2) || 
                        'en';
    
    const supportedLanguages = ['en', 'de', 'fr', 'es', 'ja', 'ko', 'it', 'pt'];
    return supportedLanguages.includes(jellyfinLang) ? jellyfinLang : 'en';
}

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Troubleshooting Language Issues

Language Not Changing

  1. Check Jellyfin Language Setting:

    Jellyfin โ†’ Settings โ†’ Display โ†’ Language
    
  2. Clear Browser Cache:

    # Chrome/Edge
    Ctrl+Shift+Delete โ†’ Clear cached images and files
    
    # Firefox  
    Ctrl+Shift+Delete โ†’ Cache
    
  3. Manual Override:

    • Open plugin settings
    • Set language manually instead of "Auto"
    • Save and restart Jellyfin

Missing Translations

  1. Check Language File:

    # Verify language file exists
    ls -la /var/lib/jellyfin/plugins/JellyfinUpscaler_*/localization/
    
  2. Fallback to English:

    // Plugin automatically falls back to English
    t(key) {
        return this.translations[key] || this.englishFallback[key] || key;
    }
    

Character Encoding Issues

  1. Ensure UTF-8 Encoding:

    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    
  2. Check Server Headers:

    curl -I http://jellyfin-server/plugins/JellyfinUpscaler/localization/languages.json
    # Should show: Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
    

๐Ÿ”„ Language Updates

Automatic Updates

Language files are updated automatically with plugin updates. No manual intervention required.
