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.

Heya,

Indeed there is, you can find info here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/extending/language-files/
