Hi all

I have similar problem. In admin interface I added new language (added new language file in both basic and admin folder as well). But after removing German Language, setting the new language as defualt and clicking on new language image it will not work and shows following error.

url is: http://localhost/test/home/

But english url http://localhost/test/en/home/ works fine.

PS: The web runs on locally on WampServer Version 2.0

Hello Ulzii,

DE is pre-installed as the default language with the ID 0. If you delete DE, the next language (EN) shall switch to the ID 0. Did you do it like this?

Yes I did it in the admin->core settings->language. Shall I change it also in language file out\basic\en\lang.php?

There is an input field for setting the default language:

Master Settings -> Core Settings -> Settings -> Language -> Default Language.

Just enter “1” there. 0 is for German, 1 for English.

Best regards

Thanks for the reply. I figured out how to change the language. But once you delete German language, somethings starts go wrong. New added language (translated) shows other language text and defualt language shows in German and so on. The problen better described here http://www.oxid-esales.com/en/resources/forum/installation-and-configuration/handling-language-backend-reference-data

Hi Marco

As I said earlier once you remove Deutsch language from Master Settings->Core Settings->Settings->Language the web works not properly. Clicking on language or home button (even some links) will show errors. Earlier it was

I just made fresh install. Added new language (translated). Removed Deutsch. This time error is every text stiil in Deutsch, and when click on language button or other links it says Page not found .

I’m using OXID_CE_4.0.0.2_14967 on wamp.

Anyway I’ll install it on real server and give you the link.
