How do you change the default document language? I’m using ES Spanish and every new document I create is defaulting to US English, and I’m having to manually change it.
I am using OnlyOffice Docs 7.5.1
Hi @fallo180 
The document language is set with the file itself.
It cannot be influenced by the configuration parameters in the ONLYOFFICE editor.
The solution is to open a template file where the desired language is already specified within the document.
(Empty templates should be provided by the integrator in their own repository)
Are you integrating docs with a particular document management system or using Workspace/DocSpace solution?
Hello Nicolás, I am only using an Onlyoffice Docs server on an Ubuntu server 22.04 as follows:
sudo docker container run -i -t -d --restart always -p 80:80 -p 443:443 --name onlyoffice-document-server\
-e JWT_ENABLED=false \
-e JWT_SECRET=KzWlywtebasMsb1yZDre \
-e USE_UNAUTHORIZED_STORAGE=true \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/sdkjs-plugins:/var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/sdkjs-plugins \
-v /hdd/onlyoffice/guardados:/var/lib/onlyoffice/documentserver/App_Data/cache/files/forgotten \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/logs:/var/log/onlyoffice \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/data:/var/www/onlyoffice/Data \
-v /app/onlyoffice/DocumentServer/lib:/var/lib/onlyoffice \
-v onlyoffice-db:/var/lib/postgresql onlyoffice/documentserver:7.5.1
and I would like to know in which path is the template that I have to replace within my docker container please
As I mentioned before, if you are an integrator using Docs:
If you’re looking at the example provided by the default document server, then the empty document templates are located at the following path within the document server container: /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/document-templates/new/
Once again, thank you for your help Nicolás, but I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong because I don’t see any changes when doing the following steps:
1.- Enter the container with docker container exec -it containerName bash
2.- Enter the path /var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/document-templates/new/
3.- I rename the folder that is in English with: mv en-US en-US-old
4.- Copy the folder with the Spanish language with: cp -r es-ES en-US
5.- I exit docker with: exit and restart with: docker container restart ContainerName
6.- I go in and create a new onlyoffice document
I think the changes are not reflected because in my implementation the file is created with apache poi before opening it with onlyoffice XD, thanks
Unfortunately, I haven’t encountered Apache POI before.
Do you have any questions about it? If so, feel free to ask!
Hello again Nicolás, Sorry, I’m trying to add spell checking support for the Spanish language Mexico, download the files indicated in "https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/installation/docs-community-install-fonts-windows.aspx” from "https://github.com/elastic/hunspell/tree/master/dicts/es_MX” and copied them to “/var/www/onlyoffice/documentserver/dictionaries/” in the es_MX folder but I can’t see any changes when restarting my container. Can you help me please.
Hello @fallo180
it seems that Adding new language spellchecking support guide is outdated.
Currently, it’s not possible for users to add a new language for the spell checker.
Only the replacement of dictionaries for existing languages is possible.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
