Hi all,

I'm trying to develop a localized MVC portlet in Liferay 7.1

I'm able to read/write localized content but the form show the instance default language instead of the current selected language.

Looking at the eng-ita.png screenshot you can see that the language selected (using the language selector portlet) is en_US; but the form fields are shown in it_IT

The form header that is set using:

String currentLanguageId = LocaleUtil.toLanguageId(user.getLocale());
title='<%= (foo != null) ? foo.getField1(currentLanguageId) : "new-foo" %>'

shows correctly the english version.

What can I do to show the current language in aui:form?

TL;DR

The complete code for the edit_foo.jsp file

<%@ include file="/init.jsp" %>

<%

String currentLanguageId = LocaleUtil.toLanguageId(user.getLocale());     
String redirect = ParamUtil.getString(request, "redirect");
long fooId = ParamUtil.getLong(request, "fooId");
Foo foo = null;
if (fooId > 0) {
    foo = fooLocalService.getFoo(fooId);
}

%>
<aui:form
    action="<%= (javax.portlet.ActionURL)renderResponse.createActionURL() %>"
    name="fm1"
