Language of the prepared email "Automated Submission Review Reminder"

Software Support

Hi Alec,

if I have a journal site available in two languages (OJS 2.4.3), the language of the automated review reminder will be always the primary?

Thank you
Angelo

Hi @angelo_ventriglia,

Currently, yes, thatā€™s how it works. We could probably consider an approach whereby the userā€™s set of indicated languages is compared against the list available based on the journal settings, and an appropriate match is chosen, but Iā€™d worry that Journal Managers are likely to fine-tune wording only on the primary language, so they might not be aware that emails are going out in other languages with the ā€œstockā€ OJS wording. This is related to another recent question on the forum:

Context : OJS 3.1.2-4

Are automated reminders still sent in the journalā€™s default language? Or is the (automated) emailā€™s language picked from the userā€™s profile (when set)? Or else? Same behavior expected for OJS 3.2?

Thank you.

Hi @Marie-Helene,

Automated emails are still sent in the journalā€™s default language; this is unchanged up to and including OJS 3.2.0. Itā€™s definitely an area for future improvement but that work hasnā€™t been scheduled against a specific release yet.
