Changing culture

UI Questions

Hi,

I am formatting strings as currency and the currency symbol is US$, rather than UK£. I did the following to change the culture:

1. Removed US a language under settings --> Languages

2. Changed web.config to include <globalization requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" uiCulture="en" culture="en-GB"/>

However it's still formatting as US($). Looking at the debug screen I can see this is being set: 'default.aspx Culture changed to en-US'.

So, my question is how do I set my culture to be en-GB and what have I missed!

Thanks for any help.

JC

Hi,

Best to set the language at the rootnode of your site. Right click on the node select Manage Hostnames, the domain name doesn;t have to be a real domain so you can simply say UK and select the Uk Language. That should work

Hope it helps you,

Richard

Thanks Richard,

That sounds really helpful. Unfortunately I think me deleting US from the language options has caused a somewhat catastrohic in the content nodes - every one I click (including the manage hostnames box) now comes up with the following error:

I tried to re-add it but I suspect this is a key contraint that's now broken. Possibly looking like a db rollback.

Thanks

Update!

I went into the table 'umbracolanguage', and added en-US back manually setting the primary key to 1 (which I guessed was the original value) and the site/content tree sprang back into life.

I also implemented Richard's suggestion above and it worked a charm.

Thanks Richard.

Hi there,

I had the same problem, that I got this error, when trying to enter the Content section. Then I went to the documents as suggested in this post. I saw, that each document could not enter the masterpages folder. I added the aspnet user to the security settings. After having done these settings, there were some errors in my masterpages, solved them and then I could see my document settings and the Content pages. Everything works fine.

Hope this will help someone who is facing the same problem.

Best, Martin
