Limiting localized editor to only one language

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

is there a configuration inside the cockpit.xml to limit the localized editor inside cockpitng to only one language?

Cheers, Daniel

Hi ,

Localized editor displays values for each readable locale of a user (configurable with configuration for cockpit-locales component and QuickToggleLocale widget in top-right corner by default). There is no way of restricting it ootb.

Hi ,

so there is no way to disable languages? Like for example we dont need the English locale in general also for the admin. So disabling it inside the cockpit-locales doesnt take any effect especially in the QuickToggleLocale widget it doesn't seem to take any effect when I'm setting the locales inside the component="available-locales".

You have any idea how to disable it?

You could create a general BackofficeRole with readable locales restricted to those that you need and assign it to all users. Didn't test it, but should work in my opinion.

Configuration for QuickToggleLocale is only meant to define which locales should be selected by default (not visible at all).

Thanks for your reply 🙂

We managed it with the QuickToggleLocale thingy. Just had to put in the correct iso code.

But your approach should work as well.
