Hi,

The discovery is still not multi-lingual, we're working on that. The issue is in part with performance, and meanwhile we stick to the "default" language.

For privacy considerations the processing of the discovery is entirely done on the client.

The question is, should we send all languages to the client (increasing the discovery file size!) and have the client decide on the order; that means, if my language preference is NL-DE-EN I would get NL for most institutions, but eg. DE for german institutions that are very unlikely mine anyway: or is it OK to stick to English for those, and choose an NL or IT file server-side. (That would perform well, but we can't take the language order into account. Unless we do more processing server-side and use the entire order - but still not search. This wouldn't work with our current CDN though.)

We have very poor performing Android phones in the community, think about African countries, and those need to keep up and process this information also. The current discovery is already a bit slow for some.

Either way, this behaviour has not changed in the past years.

In your case, it's different BTW from ours in the Netherlands, as we have no NL translation in CAT. That means we're assuming in the geteduroam discovery that default = NL.

Let me know if you have feedback to the logic, that's always welcome.

Regards,
Paul

Using geteduroam android beta 2.0(516) 2/1/2024 on Samsung Galaxy A71 Android 13 - ITALIANO

When searching for Trieste  I get "University of Trieste - Italy" instead of "Università degli Studi di Trieste"

If I search for "Università degli Studi di Trieste" I get no results.

CAT configuration for this institution is :

Paese: Italia

Nome Organizzazione default/altre lingue: University of Trieste - Italy

Nome Organizzazione English(GB): University of Trieste

Nome Organizzazione Italiano: Università degli Studi di Trieste

My expected behaviour would be either:

1. My device is set up in Italian I expect results in Italian

2. I get results in all languages

Could you confirm this behaviour?
