How can I disable languages in the backoffice?

[Former Member]

I would like to use only German and English for the Hybris installation (for the shop and all administrative tools like backoffice).

The B2C accelerator creates 17 languages by default, defined by the "lang.packs" property (platform/project.properties). Setting "lang.packs" to fewer languages (e.g. "en,de") creates only these 2 languages but makes some of the ootb ImpEx files fail, because they reference the other languages.

Setting the "active" flag of languages to false does not disable the display or data language for the backoffice. You can still select the language on the backoffice login page and also as a data language within the backoffice.

What is the cleanest way to either don't create the other languages at all or to create them but disable them in the backoffice UI?

Is it safe to run a custom ImpEx file to remove all unwanted languages?

Hi ,

Please use below property in local.properties file not in project.properties

 lang.packs=en,es,pt,fr,en_CA,zh,zh_TW,zh_CN,th,vi,en_ES

keep the languages whatever you require and remove remaining ones.

Thanks..!!
