    Change Default Backend Language from Umbraco

    Hi there

    I found the Language section under "Developer/Languages" and can't figure out, why umbraco won't switch the default language.

    Language for BO is defined per user. Hence, you can update it in user interface.

    There is another topic already created on it. https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/59749-How-to-change-language-in-Umbraco-Backoffice

    Hope these help, Mehmet

    hi Mehmet

    works great! Thanks

    Can i also edit the lang file somewhere? Not all strings are now in the new lang.

    like in the post de.xml but where is the location?

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    You can find them in the web project under config/Lang directory. However, keep in mind that all languages are not supported.

    Regards, Mehmet

    Cool thank you a lot!

    in the .xml file was this in it:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    

    are there any docs, so i can understand the behavior from umbraco? Would also contribute by translating.

    Hello, I try to understand how to localize the backend of Umbraco. I add an el.xml file in the umbraco/config/lang folder and in the profile of a user it gives me the ability to change the language to Greek My problem is, whenever I build my solution, the el.xml file been deleted. Any idea how I can fix this issue. Thanks
