    Change language of a site

    Hi, I have a site which is in development. The content has been created with the default language of en-US. However, I want to change that content to be en-GB.

    From my understanding this isn't as simple as changing the culture with the hostname as I want the drop down at the top changing to English UK.

    If I switch to English there is no content as that language has not previously been published. I don't want to lose the content I have, I just want to change the language of the US site to UK.

    Thanks in advance

    Ben

    Maybe you can change the columns languageISOCode and languageCultureName in the umbracoLanguage table inside the database?

    Back-up your DB before doing so ofcourse...

    For anybody coming across this question in 2023:

    You can do this change now directly in the back office. Just go to Settings - Languages and edit the language, i.,e. change it from en-US to en-GB.

    Upon saving the language item, you will be notifed that this will trigger a cache rebuild, and that's it. All content is still there.
