Google Login UI is always in Arabic [Flutter]

[mufayed]

Description

I got a problem, The users that are trying to log in via google, the google page is always in Arabic for them, so is there any way to change the language and make it default to English?

Amplify.Auth.signInWithWebUI(
      provider: AuthProvider.google,
          options: const CognitoSignInWithWebUIOptions(
              isPreferPrivateSession: true));

Have you tried changing the language at bottom Google keeps cookies of your language selection from if you have used Google sign in in other places. Also have you tried running on a fresh emulator

Have you tried changing the language at bottom Google keeps cookies of your language selection from if you have used Google sign in in other places. Also have you tried running on a fresh emulator

I've tried that, I also sent the apk to my friend who does not use Arabic and the google sign-in page was in Arabic too.

[bibaswan-bhawal]

Have you tried on an emulator, if you are testing on a physical device Google sign in will use you location to show you the page specific to you locale language

[bibaswan-bhawal]

Sorry it would do that on an emulator as well if you’re based in a country speaking arabic

Hi @mufayed where is your device ip address? Even if you set the device settings to English, if your IP shows you are in a Arabic speaking region, Google switches to the local language. I've had the problem on my side before when traveling in Europe (switched automatically to Italian, French, etc).

Can you try using a VPN and changing your IP address to an english speaking country and trying again?

As noted here, the only workaround seems to be appending a query parameter to the Google login page. Unfortunately, Cognito does not allow passing query parameters to the redirected login page, which would be required. This is currently a known limitation of Cognito: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-flutter/issues/1528#issuecomment-1205936858.

UAE, After testing on VPN it's changed to English, but that is not a solution because the application will target non-Arabic speakers, Is there a way of passing a parameter or forcing the google login page to be in English?

[dnys1]

Hi @mufayed, as mentioned there is no way to currently pass query parameters to Google which would allow overriding the default locale behavior. This is a limitation of Cognito, unfortunately. I will leave this ticket open until they have a fix in place.

Thank you, I hope the team solves this very soon.
