Question: How to Change BrowserWindow (Chromium) context menu language

[WilliamHolmes]

ref: electron 12705

Hi,

Use Case

Our web app allows users to change their preferred language. (Accept-Language Header)

Is it possible to change the default BrowserWindow context menu language?

Currently

In this example the user has chosen 'fr', and we use this language for the spellchecker, but the context menu shows in English.

(My Local machine, Mac OS, English)

OR another option (for my use case) to remove everything except the spelling suggestions.

UPDATE FYI @Slapbox I've managed to find where to change these strings. ContextMenuBuilder.setAlternateStringFormatter eg.

  window.spellCheckHandler = new SpellCheckHandler();
  window.spellCheckHandler.attachToInput();
  window.spellCheckHandler.switchLanguage(lang);
  window.contextMenuBuilder = new ContextMenuBuilder(window.spellCheckHandler, null, true);
  window.contextMenuBuilder.setAlternateStringFormatter({
    copyMail: () => `test_copyMail`,
    copyLinkUrl: () => `test_copyLinkUrl`,
    openLinkUrl: () => `test_openLinkUrl`,
    copyImageUrl: () => `test_copyImageUrl`,
    copyImage: () => `test_copyImage`,
    addToDictionary: () => `test_addToDictionary`,
    lookUpDefinition: ({word}) => `test_lookUpDefinition "${word}"`,
    searchGoogle: () => `test_searchGoogle`,
    cut: () => `test_cut`,
    copy: () => `test_copy`,
    paste: () => `test_paste`,
    inspectElement: () => `test_inspectElement`
  });
