Remove ootb languages in hybris 6.6

[former_member631673]

How can I get rid of the languages like es, es_CO, ja, cs, etc so that they wont be displayed in the backoffice for localized attributes (see screenshot)

I only want the languages de, en, it, fr, en_GB and en_US.

I already tried to set the property lang.packs=en,de,it,fr,en_GB,en_US in the local.properties. But then a lot of initialization erros occur in files like: /impex/essentialdata-coredefinitions_cs.impex (ruleengine) since they depend on that languages.

What can I do to get rid of the superfluous languages?

You need to create an impex to remove the languages. If you check "Essential Data" in Platform Update, they will be recreated; so you need to consider when the impex will be imported during system set-up. e.g.

 INSERT_UPDATE Language;isocode[unique=true];active[default=true]
 ;pt;false
 
 REMOVE Language;isocode[unique=true];
 ;pt;

There will always be impex that will use some of the OOTB languages that you remove. I suppose you can ignore them.

This works for the initialize but with an Update via hac the languages will be created again.

You need to add the "REMOVE Language" script during the Platform Update scripts / setup.

This will lead to some ImpEx import errors for certain extensions, since they reference these languages.

For example, the file hybris/bin/ext-addon/pcmbackofficesamplesaddon/resources/pcmbackofficesamplesaddon/import/common/common-addon-extra.impex in Hybris 1811 references the languages "en,de,es,es_CO,fr,it,ja,ko,pt,ru,zh,zh_TW,hi,id"
