Dynamic language detection for Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) automatically recognizes
and adapts to your end users' browser language preferences to provide a seamless
multilingual experience during isolated browsing sessions. This feature enables dynamic
language detection for native language browsing and RBI end-user notifications. These
two capabilities work together to ensure both the RBI user interface and the websites
your users visit respond appropriately to their language settings. The system uses your
users' browser native language configuration to determine their preferred languages and
applies this information to their isolated browsing experience. You don’t need to
configure these features as they are enabled automatically when your users access RBI,
detecting their browser language settings and applying them throughout their
sessions.
Native Language Browsing
RBI includes automatic language detection capabilities that preserve your users'
native language browsing experience during isolated web sessions. When users access
websites through RBI, the system automatically detects their browser's configured
language preferences and forwards this information to web servers, ensuring that
multilingual websites serve content in the user's preferred language rather than
defaulting to English.
When you deploy RBI, the language detection feature operates automatically without
requiring configuration. The system captures language preferences directly from each
user's browser settings using standard web APIs and includes this information in
HTTP requests to destination websites through the Accept-Language header. This
process maintains the natural content negotiation that occurs between browsers and
web servers, enabling websites to determine the most appropriate language for
content delivery.
If your users have configured multiple languages in their browser preferences (for
example ), RBI preserves the complete language priority list and forwards it
to web servers in the user's specified order. This ensures that websites can select
the best available language match from their supported options. When the system
can’t determine language preferences from a user's browser, it automatically
defaults to English to ensure consistent functionality.
The language detection feature supports all modern browsers and automatically adapts
to legacy browser environments, ensuring compatibility across your diverse user
base. Since the capability operates transparently within the RBI infrastructure,
your users experience seamless multilingual browsing without needing to modify their
browser settings or learn new procedures for accessing international websites
through isolated sessions.
RBI End-User Notifications
RBI automatically detects and responds to end-user browser language preferences to
provide localized RBI notifications and interface elements. This capability ensures
that users receive notifications and alerts from RBI in their preferred language,
which improves the user experience and makes it similar to their native browsing
experience.
When users access isolated websites through RBI, the system automatically reads the
language preferences configured in their browser and renders all RBI user interface
elements accordingly. These elements include buttons, labels, messages, dialogs,
alert notifications, and floating action button texts that appear within the
isolated browser session. This automatic detection eliminates the need for manual
language configuration and ensures consistent user experience across your
organization's multilingual workforce.
The language detection process operates using the browser's languages API, which
provides a list of the user's preferred languages. RBI reads this preference list
and selects the most preferred supported language for displaying RBI interface
elements. When users have multiple languages configured in their browser settings,
the system uses the primary language preference as the default selection. If RBI
does not support the user's preferred language, the system automatically defaults to
English to ensure all notifications remain visible and accessible.
RBI currently supports localized notifications in Japanese, Chinese (Simplified),
Chinese (Traditional), and Korean, in addition to the default English language
support.
The language detection for RBI end-user notifications works independently of the
target website's language setting, such that the website language and browser
language can be different. Changing the website's language or using the translate
page action won't have any effect on the RBI notifications' language as it refers to
the browser language setting.
