Language of internal sharing email notification should be in recipient language

[plastikschnitzer]

Steps to reproduce

1. Share folder/file to another internal ownCloud user
2. Notify user by email

Expected behaviour

The ownCloud user should get the notification email in his language

Actual behaviour

The email is sent in the language from the user who shared the folder, but this not necessarily the language of the email recipient.

Server configuration

ownCloud version: 10.0.10

Updated from an older ownCloud or fresh install: updated

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #7417 (Email Notification in Language), #12608 (Shared file notifications), #4499 (Shared File Notifications), #5593 (Possibility to add email address in user management), and #5719 (sending share email link fails).

The new feature in ownCloud 10.0.10 is for external shares, not for shares to an internal ownCloud user.

If you share files/directories with an internal ownCloud user and send an email notification as mentioned above in my bug report, the email language is in the language of the owner, not the recipient.

The release notes from 10.0.10 states that my desired behavior is the case for internal shares, but this is not the case, its broken. Please test my setup!

Maybe it was even broken with this new "set language for guest shares" feature because it sets the sharing email language by default to the owner language – for guest shares. Not sure if this causes the problem for internal shares, its just an idea how it could have happened.

also observed recently as @mrow4a clicked "notify by mail" and I received the email in Polish while my user is set to English.

In contrast to external shares oC knows the language of internal share recipients. For other notifications (e.g. Pending Shares) the configured language of the recipient is used. That should be made consistent here.
