Select a different language in notifications

Hello!

I updated from 6.6 to 6.10 and see there was several changes in localization and files that create notifications,
I would like to change the message of some of triggers like "entering or exiting geofences, but it does not seems works.

If I send a test message, it appear in my phone like

(***)
(***)

After the update I changed the files of traccar/templates/short/geofenceEnter.vm and worked fine, but now this folder not exist and other not seems to work.

Is neccessary add a new line in traccar.xml with the main language? I searched in your Documentation but didnt find a solution.

You have to re-apply your changes on top of new notification templates.

Great Anton, thanks a lot at always. So, for push notifications, only apply the lines subject and digest?

And how Traccar use different languages?

/opt/traccar/templates/notifications/en

#set($subject = "$device.name: has entered geofence")
#set($digest = "$device.name has entered geofence $geofence.name at $dateTool.format('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', $event.eventTime, $locale, $timezone)")
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
Device: $device.name<br>
Has entered geofence: $geofence.name<br>
Time: $dateTool.format('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss', $event.eventTime, $locale, $timezone)<br>
Point: <a href="$webUrl/event/$event.id">#{if}($position.address)$position.address#{else}$position.latitude&deg;, $position.longitude&deg;#{end}</a><br>
<br>
<a href="$webUrl/settings/notifications?token=$token">Unsubscribe</a>
</body>
</html>

Yes, instead of separate short notification templates we now use $digest.

Thanks Anton, thanks you, I will use digest for now.

Only remember when you have time, to change the doc page https://www.traccar.org/notifications/#push
My proposal to start the change:

Templates
Traccar uses Velocity Engine for notification templates. ~~Emails use the long version and most other channels use the the short version of the templates.~~ General notifications use the *.vm files located on /templates/notifications and can be edited. Push notifications are created using the same files but sending only the $digest line.

Templates can be easily adjusted to your needs or translated. Template *.vm files must be in the UTF-8 encoding.

Excuse Anton, the UI of Traccar webpage when I sign in is spanish, but I receive the notifications in english. Where can we select the language?

Or i must replace the english text with spanish in the .VM english file?

You need to set the language in the account or user settings.
