I'm in the process of migrating to Umbraco 8 from 7. So far I have the site running as it works today. Great success! Now I would like to incorporate the sweet new features, like Language Variants.
In preparing for that, I would like to make sure the current nodes have the correct culture. But Umbraco is making some kind of Culture mix-up with my content nodes. I have set the hostname/cultures of every current root node. But this is not inherited as I would expect to each child node.
I have four languages: Danish (default), English, Norwegian and Swedish.
The first node ("DA") is set like this:
Language: Danish
Hostname: "/da" = Danish
... and so on with the other root nodes.
However, when looking at the URLs given to the root nodes, they now have two cultures (except English).
en-US: /da/
da: [localhost]/da/
And even more frustrating is that the child nodes seem unaffected by the culture settings. E.g. the first node in Danish have the following URL and culture:
en-US: /da/velkommen/
This current situation seem to be a problem when enabling Language Variants because the site believe my Danish content is English.
Second problem: I am migrating from a V7 multilanguage site which is very different from V8's language variants. I have posted a request for Umbraco HQ to document what to do in this situation. https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/issues/1803
Third: Simultaneously, I ran into some IIS issues on my local machine, preventing me from transferring changes to and from Umbraco Cloud.
So... I found this https://dilbert.com/strip/2011-05-16, call it a day and prepare for a huge copy/paste job after I make a fresh clone of the dev environment.
Can I fix culture mix-up?

Any help to fix this is much appreciated!
Turns out this is a combination of problems... #h5yr to Umbraco Support :)
First of all: I realized had not followed these steps 100%: https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Tutorials/Creating-Basic-Site/Adding-Language-Variants #h5is
Second problem: I am migrating from a V7 multilanguage site which is very different from V8's language variants. I have posted a request for Umbraco HQ to document what to do in this situation. https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/issues/1803
