paulieGB Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Hello, I was advised to get rid of the other language folders (apart from english) on my site. When i did this i lost my site and had errors come up on the screen. So i then put the folders back in the languages folder, and now my site is not in english any more and it is all over the place. I could do with some help. Thanks, Paulie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 To get rid of a language, you need to delete the files as well as the language setting in admin. For this problem though, you should look at admin->Localization->Languages and make sure the correct language is set as default.

♥Vger Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I don't know why you were advised to get rid of the other language folders. All you needed to do was to go into Admin --> Localisation --> Languages, and click to Delete the languages you do not want to appear on your website. This stops them from appearing but does not remove the files. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 You cannot now delete the languages from within admin - because you've already deleted the actual files. And as far as the database is concerned those files are still there. Having made a real mess of this so far I'd recommend that you get onto your hosting company and ask them to restore your site and database from a backup taken BEFORE you started messing about with this. Once they do that - if you still want to remove the other languages just do it by deleting them from within admin and leave the files alone. After that - do not take any further advice from the person who told you to just delete the language files. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The code in applicatio_top will attempt to load them under some conditions based on the language of the vistors browser.
