Christoph Polus	Tuesday 12 July 2005 9:40:44 am Hi I've installed Exponential and have specified the primary language to be German. Now the whole admin interface is German. How can I specify the primary content language to be German but the admin backend to be English? Where do these parameters get configured? Thanks Chris
David Eriksson	Wednesday 13 July 2005 7:37:26 am In site.ini(.append.php) [RegionalSettings] Locale=swe-SE Just put the one for your site to German, and the one for admin to English, and make sure there is nothing ruining it inside override/site.ini.append.php. You'll want to put ContentObjectLocale to the same on both though, judging from your post I'd say German. ContentObjectLocale dictates what language should be the default for objects you create. /David
Christoph Polus	Wednesday 13 July 2005 5:47:25 pm Hey David Thanks very much! I'm just beginning to understand the INI settings. I also found a good tutorial for multilanguage sites that made me understand. For all those looking for answers I recommend: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/how_to_setup_a_multilingual_site

Where do these parameters get configured?

In site.ini(.append.php)

[RegionalSettings]
Locale=swe-SE

Just put the one for your site to German, and the one for admin to English, and make sure there is nothing ruining it inside override/site.ini.append.php.

Hey David

Thanks very much! I'm just beginning to understand the INI settings. I also found a good tutorial for multilanguage sites that made me understand. For all those looking for answers I recommend:
