Remove english language

[www.in.no]

Just have some questions about the best way to completle remove english language.

 

I will only use the shop with a secondary language and want to know the best way to remove english completly without breaking the code for shop or addons at a later time. Both for catalog part and admin. I dont mind admin beeing english i just want to remove the need for filling in duplicate languages when adding products/categories ...

 

What do you recomend.

 

1. copy secondary language over to english folder.

 

2. change the secondary language to lang id 0 (same as english)

 

3. other way.

 

Is is possible to softlink the english catalog to the secondary language so that new addons still copy the english file over to the secondary language catalog. It has to be translated after anyway.

 

 

thanks..

The only reason to completely remove it is due to limited server space, and if you are that low on space you have a much more serious problem.

 

On the other hand, make sure your default language and currencies are both set to your desired language. Then you can use the admin area to remove them from use. Afterwards you can simply delete the english.php file and the english directory.

 

Make backups to restore just in case...

Thanks for the answer.

 

It is not to save server space, have enough of that. :-)

 

It is more to get rid of the need to fill out 2 fields one for each language, when i only are going to use one.

 

I have tryed some solutions, but dont know witch is the best. Sins most contrib is coming with english as default i want to find a way that is not making a lot of manual work when installing contrib. thats why i ask about softlink english folder to secondary language folder.

 

I also want to prevent other errors due to removed language.

 

Do i need second language in admin, is english cover everything if store is in Norwegian only. I have no problem using english in admin.

 

If i remove englis in localization - languages is that only affect the cataloge part or admin to?

It takes it out of both, but for what you are doing you do not need to delete any folders. You could just remove the language from the admin languages, and when you add contributions just don't do what is required in the language part. Just know that if you ever activate English again it will not work. Better to remove the directory entirely I suppose...
